Hi,

 

I saw this tooth for sale labelled as Coelurus and it is from the Morrison Formation (Salt and Pepper Quarry - 14mm long). I just wanted to see others opinions about this id. I can't really see the serrations that well and there isn't much on the internet about Coelurus teeth. Would love to have a Coelurus tooth if this is true.

Shape seems pretty similar to coelurus teeth I've seen offered on fossil sites. However, as far as I know there are no diagnostic features separating coelurus teeth from other small theropods.

 

These two are Troodon's teeth for comparison

I've seen teeth of this shape and size being sold as Allosaurus as well.

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!

Interesting, either way there is a good deal of stuff it could be other than a coelurus tooth
