svcgoat Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 This tooth was purchased on an auction website from a person who needed the money and sold a tooth they purchased from a reputable online dealer in 2020. All I have is an original receipt from the reputable dealer which lists Tyrannosaur tooth, Judith River Formation and the original price. Here are some pictures I just took as I just received the specimen. I am wondering if it is possible to determine the species. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Its indeed a Tyrannosaurid tooth. Without a locality, state or county, its pretty hard to confirm its JRF. If its from that deposit no Tyrannosaurids have yet to be described from there. Could be Gorgosaurus or one of the Daspletosaurini. Anyway you slice it its an indeterminate Tyrannosaurid. Nice tooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
