JurassicParkCarnotaurus Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I picked up this tooth a while ago and the description was raptor tooth from Hell Creek. I was thinking Sauronitholestes (Wow that’s hard to spell with autocorrect messing me up) but hopefully you guys will help Id it. Thanks! {sorry about the picture quality if it is too bad I totally understand} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Saurornitholestes is not described from the Hell Creek Fm. and only known from older deposits. The small raptor, Dromaeosaurid, that is known from there is Acheroraptor. Your tooth probably that just seeing how recurved it is. However without much closer photos and a good look at the serrations on both edges it would be difficult to positively assign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doushantuo Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I am not saying it is an example of that taxon you have there,BTW. I just wanted to figure the taxon mentioned,so people would get an idea of its dental morphology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Do you have any visible serrations on the outside edge? If yes are they denser, more of them than the inside ones? Here is one of my Acheroraptor posterior teeth. Looks very similar to yours. Denticles look similar but hard to see yours. Please verify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
