zekky Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 A close up of the back serration would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait what?!! 7 inches? Or cm? I agree, we need pictures of the back of the tooth. And correct size. Kind regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laditz Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Have seen this tooth too, and was wondering the same thing.. Sadly these are the only two pictures in the listing, gonna be hard to identify with just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indominus rex Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Could be a raptor tooth. Not an expert but the way it's hooked reminds me of one. @Troodon might be able to help.

Troodon Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I dont think there is enough here to make a call. We certainly need a photo of the other side to see the mesial carina (front of the tooth). The other concern I have is are we looking at a tip of a larger tooth that was broken, cannot tell. Can you contact the seller for additional photos, other side and a side view. What is the seller calling it and what is the locality of the find? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ís in the Raptor-section of the site that's selling it though.. you can probably look it up Not the one asking about ID btw, but was wondering about it too.

Thanks checked out a few of the standard web sites and found it. Dont believe its from a raptor and the more I look at the base the more I think its a broken tooth and not complete. The location given is vague but in the general area of the Two Med.. Im sure he would provide additional photos if asked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossilrocks Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Here are more pics of the tooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Nice photos. Thanks I think what you have is the business end of a broken Tyrannosaurid tooth. Difficult to determine how much is missing. So you are looking at Gorgosaurus sp. or Daspletosaurus horneri 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
