Farfel 53 Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) Would like help to ID these 2 teeth I got at a show years ago. The small one is a nice dark brown color and the seller thought it was from a Raptor or a Nanotyrannus. Size on the small one is around .680. The larger is not in that great of a shape and the seller thought it is was Albertosauris tooth. Size on this one is around 1.385.

Diceros Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I guess if the dealer used the name Albertosaurus, he must have thought it was from the late Campanian of the American West. Frankly, you shouldn't buy fossils if you don't know (at least approximately) where it's from. You asked for thoughts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) ID's of isolated theropod dinosaur teeth is not easy but it starts with the locality/formation of where they were found. Do you have that information? The next key observation is to look at the serrations, are they visible on your teeth since its hard to see from your photos.
