Possible Trex tooth UPDATE

[BonuFrailman]

Hey guys I've got an update on the trex tooth I bought a few weeks back!

To restate general info, the tooth is 1.5 inches and was found in Lance Creek FM Wyoming.

I am once again asking the question if this is indeed a Rex tooth or not now that I have it in hand.

Here's the pictures below

If is from Lance Creek, it is likely a T-Rex.

Color matches and everything.

Could we have a better picture of the serrations?

Nice piece, congrats!

No red flags here.

Your pictures are blurry.  

Try taking them outside in daylight. 

 

Also - take the pictures with the tooth stable on a flat surface, ... not in your hand. 

There can be a lot of movement in your hand when taking a picture with the other. 

Try to use some clay, play dough, or blue tack to hold the fossil for you, in the desired positions. 

Take your pictures from directly above the fossil in good light - no shadows - front, back, right side, left side, top, bottom. 

Hope this helps.

The base of the tooth is certainly round like that of a T-Rex tooth. Nice fat, little tooth.

It is indeed Rex. Congrats.

And just to keep everyone fully informed... including maybe the seller... it is called the Lance Formation, not the Lance Creek Formation.  The town and the creek are both named Lance Creek, but the rock unit is without the Creek.  (I was just there yesterday).
