Troodon Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 A good number of Dinosaur collectors, on this Forum, have Acrocanthosaurus on their wish list and its one of the holy grail of teeth to acquire. I saw this post by Jim Kirkland and thought I would increase the drool factor. He does not state what formation it came from but have to believe its the Cedar Mountain Formation.. Enjoy His comment "Acrocanthosaurus serrations are so fine you can barely see them" 3 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the intent was to show detailed measurements. Just how small the serrations were by placing next to the fingerprint lines as thats recurring in each picture. *Frank* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the many comments on this forum that hands are not appropriate to show the size of thing. My comment was a joke. I probably should have added /s or something. Realise that I usually don’t take things to serious including myself and the posts I make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abstraktum Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 On another note and while we're at the topic: Are there genue Acrocanthosaurus teeth out there for sale? Since Acrocanthosaurus can be found in the US I wonder why I never came across any Acrocanthosaurus teeth for sale. Are they just super rare?

My assumption is very, very rare. *Frank* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only seen 3 complete teeth for sale in all the years I've been collecting. A few more partials. Why its on everyone's wish list. Edit: My guess if any are found they will be sold privately well before they have a chance to mske the open market 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixgill pete Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Acrocanthosaurus is one of my favorite dinos. For those of you who have not seen it, I would highly recommend a trip to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science to check out their Acro skeleton,. It is awesome!!!

siteseer Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 In the 90's, there was a skeleton for sale from the Antlers Formation in Oklahoma. I don't remember if there were any isolated teeth or bones for sale around that time or since, but as Troodon noted, that kind of thing sells with a quick phone call.
