I don't have anything mindblowingly rare, but the favourite teeth in my dino collection are:

 

 

Favourite:

 

Tyrannosaurid indet.

The first tooth in my collection; this one is always going to have a special place for me.

Honourable Mentions:

 

Theropod indet.

Kem Kem, Morocco

30mm

 

Has many of the hallmarks of a Megaraptoran.

Theropod indet.

This is just a weirdo of a tooth. Guesses on a postcard?!

Really nice tyrannosaur from Canada!

My new Suchomimus tooth has perhaps taken over as my favourite tooth. I personally haven’t seen one in this colour and condition elsewhere and am fortunate to own it

Wow, that's a beautiful Sucho tooth! Very different to the usual black colouration.

Thanks! It’s certainly different to my other one which is black in colour.

 

Once you get in the Dino tooth habit it’s hard to get out of it!

Your Canadian tyrannosaur is rare and the rest of your Kem Kem teeth are amazing

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

Great to see that this topic is still going.

 

I can now add a tyrannosaurid tooth that i found last year inside Dinosaur Provincial Park, from the Dinosaur Park Formation (Campanian) of Alberta, Canada. This was such a surprise to find. It is just gorgeous! I handed it in to the visitors centre staff (as the park is a protected world heritage site) and it's probably now on display there. 

 

Measures 5.1 cm long. Belongs to either Gorgosaurus or Daspletosaurus

I have a lot of favorite dinosaur teeth and selecting one was not easy. The one I chose is from a baby T rex, its a fully rooted posterior tooth. The ID was done by Pete Larsen and Robert Bakker. The tooth is 1 1/8" long and collected in Garfield County, Montana in 2012.

This is a baby dentary tooth of a Trex and it's used for eating :D  Need to see the teeth you are talking about before I can comment on them.

Decided to show some of my recent additions :dinosmile:

 

Not my rarest tooth, but definitely my favourite - a Diplodocoid (possibly Dicraeosaurid) tooth from Middle Jurassic of Madagascar, Isalo IIIb formation. According to the recent paper by Bindellini & Dal Sasso, 2019 and what I have seen available from that locality it is by far the rarest sauropod tooth morphotype from there. 

 

I had another tooth of this species that is now in @Jaimin013 collection, but this one is actually preserved as a part of tooth battery with remains of 4 other teeth on the back of the specimen.

And one of my rarest teeth is actually not dinosaurian, but similar morphologically. It belongs to a large terrestrial crocodile Iberosuchus cf. macrodon from the Eocene of Robiac, France. It is compressed and you can see fairly large serrations meaning it's a ziphodont tooth, as in theropod dinosaurs.

Very beautiful tooth one of the best out there, couple questions.  Where from and what is its size.  Also trying to learn what makes that tooth an Allosaurus versus another theropod.  Never seen one that shape and size. Thanks
