Has anyone heard of Xiongguanlong?

Yeah it's a Tyrannosaur from China. China has so many tyrannosaurs in it. Most of them are unknown. Dilong has been found there, the smallest Tyrannosaur at a mere 2 meters.

I have a nice Lythronax tooth replica from the Utah museum.

Oh that sounds nice! If you want to post a picture of it, feel free to.

I would like to see it too and what's that tooth in your profile pic?

Thanks for showing the tooth, will have to pick one up next time I'm there. Probably the best one is going to do since I doubt there are many, if any, isolated teeth in private collections. Not much of the skeleton was found but they did find a good part of the skull which allowed them to describe it in 2013.

The Kaiprowitz formation lies almost entirely inside Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. The very North East tip may have some private land, but I doubt it. So The replica is probably the closest you'll get to a legal tooth. The National Monument is doted with some private land, but roads being closed etc make access impossible.

I think it's spelled Kaiparowits. It has yielded many interesting specimens but it's not renowned for tyrannosaur material. Teratophonius seems too wimpy to have been coadapted to Nasutoceratops etc. Lythronax isn't from the same unit but the older Wahweap, if memory serves. Remarkable that such a robust tyrannosaur was already present in the early Campanian.

Does anybody have a Zhuchengtyrannus tooth? Just wondering...

I believe that prior to Hone's formal description of Z. magnus, based on limited cranial/jaw material, some teeth were known and named Tyrannosaurus zhuchengensis. But there's so little material and from so far away I doubt anyone here has any.
