amon81 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi everybody, I've seen this daspletosaurus tooth, what do you think about that. Is It classificable like Daspletosaurus or indet. theropod tooth? The Sellers says that cane from Hells Creek formation Larfield 60x15mm Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Daspletosaurus is not known from the Hell Creek Formation only older deposits. Do you have a specific locality where it was found. Need County and State. If it's HC could be T rex or Nanotyrannus but need better photos with more lighting. What is Larfield? Did you mean Garfield?

Troodon Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The more I look at this tooth it appears to be a composite in fact almost convinced of that. Why the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pemphix Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Yep, at the first view it looks odd. But as already said, better photos are needed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Thank you for the photos. I find it interesting that all of the photos are from the side with the matrix which covers most of the tooth. However it does confirm my initial thought is this is a composite. I would stay away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBchiefski Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 @amon81 Yes I would agree with @Troodon and besides the location not being correct, though that could be a typo, the tooth does seem to be a composite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I agree. It looks like a composite. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
