This is a rex tooth?


Recommended Posts

Tyrannosaurid for sure. Can't confirm Rex or not if there isn't locality data.

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

If it is from the Hell Creek Formation, it looks to be a Nanotyrannus tooth vs. a Rex tooth.

I believe that this particular tooth is a nanotyrannus tooth. The cross section (base) isn't the typical D shape that you see for rex teeth so I am leaning in that direction.

I also lean toward Nanotyrannus based on the cross section, but this one doesn't really look pinched in on the sides like a lot Nanotyrannus teeth. It could possibly be a rex maxillary, but at this size it would be difficult to tell. I would label it either as Tyrannosaurid indet. or cf. Nanotyrannus. Here is a post by @Troodon you may find useful.

Hello!

 

Troodon already identified it as a T-rex tooth from Garfield County.
