Hello, I am going to post a tooth I found a few days ago. I will try to follow the theropod tooth description post on the photos and info. Letme know if I am missing anything. Thanks for any help.

 

It was kind of hard to miss!

Hmm, on my phone the pics looks clear but they seem to be slightly blurry here.

Beautiful, just sitting there waiting for you..  Its an indeterminate Tyrannosaurid tooth.    Both Gorgosaurus and a Daspletosaurini are most likely present none have been described (Holtz 2021).   May be difficult to differentiate teeth between the two (Currie et al 2005)

A few more rains and that would have been washed out! 66+ million years pass to be exposed at exactly the right window in time for you. Got to love it when thing like that happen!

 

Great find!
