fossilsonwheels Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 This is an interesting tooth. It is from the Hell Creek Formation. no county was given only Montana. It is .3 cm and is serrated. It has a very interesting shape to it which i thought was similar to bird teeth but after seeing the serrations, my thought was Richardoestesia gilmorei. I am probably way off in my thinking. At the very least, I thought it was interesting enough to post here and see what other opinions are. Any thoughts ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Might be a cf R. Gilmorei (cf its not described from HC) but the serration density and compression might say no. These teeth have very fine serrations between 5 to 10 per mm on distal edge and I dont get that sense from the photos. The cross-section at base also does not look right not compressed snough. So although the profile works the numbers might not and needs to be verified. Also need a look at the mesial edge 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
