Beautiful tyrannosaur tooth.  Fo you have a locality where it was found?

I am always grateful for your help. It only says up to Montana.

Unfortunately Montana has lots of different age deposits and tyrannosaurs.  Color appears to be HC but I like a strong provenance to insure its identified properly. 

Its difficult to determine the age class of a theropod tooth.  My guess is that this tooth is from a juvenile but because it shows no wear or use it could be an erupting tooth from an older animal.

Those look like very nice preserved tooth. They are real yes. Would not think these are from an Adult one, I would lean more towards juvenile Rex given the shape and thickness. 

But as Frank already stated provenance is key to knowing where it belongs. Never theless I would pick those tooth up for your collection.  Nice ones :dinothumb:
