Tyrannosaurid teeth

Hello all!

First of all,happy Easter to all Christians!

Hope you are all having a wonderful day,Easter or not Easter.

I was curious to know, which Tyrannosaurid teeth are the rarest complete??? Does it depend on...?

Is it THE T-Rex or is it another Tyrannosaurid?

I would want to know more about these incredible beasts.

Do you know how many Tyrannosaurid species exists? What is the real Tyrannosaurid tooth jackpot?

Kind regards for your help and comments. (Don’t quite know if this is the adequate topic... feel free to redirect it.)

Happy Easter

T-rex teeth are some of the most common next to Nanotyrannus.    Tyrannosaurids teeth are found in most every continent so there are a lot to choose from to decide which is the rarest and eveyone will choose a differenpt one.

 

Attached find Tom Holts genus list updated as of 2012 so its not current  Tyrannosauroids start in page 10 followed by tyrannosaurids

Tyrannosaurus, Nanotyrannus, and Tyrannosaurids from Judith River etc. arent very rare. I think you will need lots of money and good Luck in Finding them if you want Tyrannosaur species from the other continents. Tarbosaurus and Timurlengia shold be possible though.

Are Tarbosaurus and Timurlengia rarer than T-Rex?

What is the tipical location of Tarbosaurus?

What about Aublysodon. Saw a tooth online for quite cheap. Daspletosaurus?

Cheers

Of course and Tarbosaurus is from Mongolia, just finished saying Trex is one of the most common..  Aublysodon is not a valid species they are incorrectly identified and belong to other Tyrannosaurids

Aublysodon is not longer considered as a valid genus. Daspletosaurus is very similar to Gorgosaurus. Tarbosaurus is known from Mongolia.

Aublysodon is not a valid species but its teeth are assigned to other Tyrannosaurids

You canot buy Tarbosaurus teeth since its illegal to export them from Asia.   Timurlenga can be exported so they are more available.

I'm not sure if Timurlengia is less common than T. rex, I just guess they don't reach the open market that often. Tarbosaurus is more rare and also a lot more expensive.

Tarbosaurus teeth pop up from time to time on the European market, but they are still rare to find for sale. The best chance is probably an old collection.
