Alioramus tooth? Late Cretaceous- Bayankhongor, Mongolia


Pliosaur

Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

Looking to ID this asian theropod tooth from the late cretaceous of Bayankhongor, Mongolia that is supposedly from Alioramus sp. 

 

The serrations are quite worn for this rooted tooth and are hard to see, the entire tooth measures 60mm

Below I've attached some pictures, thanks in advance!

I think all one can say is that it's most likely indet. tyrannosaurid tooth.   Very difficult to distinguish between the different tyrannosaurids in the Nemegt Fm. given the size and preservation.

If it is Alioramus, the location info provided would suggest this is more likely to be Alioramus remotus opposed to Alioramus altai.
