Troodon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 This one is not has complete. I think it's Rex with those serrations and girth and we are only looking at the top 2/3 of the tooth. I would however label it tyrannosaurid indet simply because it's not complete with the base missing, there are big Nano teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatria Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 I was excited to see the faint serrations upon closer inspection. Zookeeperfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 The serrations are definitely key in identifying these teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas King Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Great photos Aimee. Did you find any other fossils while you were out there? I hear a lot of triceratops teeth and frill pieces are coming out of that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatria Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 I found a nice selection of triceratops teeth as well as a few hadrosaurid teeth and some frill but it was fairly beat up. Zookeeperfossils.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I agree weathered frill still a nice keeper. Hey, how much of it do you see around and how many folks can say I collected it. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
