JackS Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hey all. I was wondering if anyone knew what this could be. Size is 2.7 mm by 1.1 mm. I was thinking some sort of bird based on the shape and the gradient. No clue on the specie though. The specimen is from the Hell Creek Formation in Northern Wyoming. Thanks!

Nanotyrannus35 Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Seems to me like it's either a gar or a crocodile tooth based on the shape and size.

Troodon Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Northern Wyoming would be the Lance Fm. Looks like Lepisosteidae (Gar) tooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Indeed, we have no Hell Creek here. Same stuff (mostly) but in Wyoming it is the Lance Fm. This is a gar (Lepisosteus) tooth based on how the tip is more see through than the rest of the tooth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
