fossilsonwheels Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Based on the numerous and informative posts of @Troodon, I feel pretty confident that this tooth is an Acheroraptor. It is from the Hell Creek formation, South Dakota. I saw some things that looked diagnostic and the seller provided pics that were pretty good. Anybody want to confirm the ID or present an alternative ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantoraptor Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 The vertical ridges in the first and fourth picture are diagnostic for this species. The denticles on the posterior side are also bigger than on the anterior side so I think this is indeed a tooth of Acheroraptor temertyorum. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt good about the ID but still nervous as I am new to dinosaurs but I credit TFF. There is some great information here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mburkett Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Are these ridges? If so, no doubt it’s an Acheroraptor temertyorum tooth. It’s a beauty, too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a really cool rendition. my son is working on a bunch of scientific illustrations for our education program and I will make sure to show him this one. Thank you for sharing the link to that !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
