Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth identification


Recommended Posts

Definitely looks big enough to be one.  What is the locality (State and county) and Formation?

Sadly that’s all the seller knows of its origin. I was hoping for more of a backstory but I ended up impulse buying as the price was fantastic.

The tooth looks like a rex tooth if its indeed from the Hell Creek Formation.  County is important to verify it indeed is from the Hell Creek Formation.  Impulse buying is not good when it comes to theropod teeth.   Do you due diligence before you buy.  Nice tooth...

I think I have seen this tooth on TFF before in a members collection. But only from the front.  Looks nice.

He just replied and said the person he purchased from said ‘butte county’ if that’s of any help? Although he’s not 100% sure on this

Well there is a Butte County in South Dakota where you do find Trex but none in Montana.

It's from the recent theropod trades post in the trade forum.

It is extremely bad form to delete photos or content from a post that has been answered. 

It renders this topic nearly useless.  :(

What a shame. I came into this thread to admire a new tooth only to see that the OP has deleted the pictures after getting his answer.

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!
