PaleoNoel Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I found this little tooth crown at a conglomerate site in the Lance formation a couple weeks ago on my fossil hunting excursion with Paleoprospectors. I wasn't sure what it belonged to, at first I thought it was a small Triceratops crown but under further examination I think it could belong to another herbivore. I looked at @Troodon's post on Leptoceratops from hell creek and saw similarities to the maxillary teeth. I wanted to know what some of the dino people thought about mine. It broke when I was trying to prep it out so the sheen is from the glue I used to put it back together. The tooth is about half a centimeter in height.

Troodon Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Definitely possible it could be a "cf Leptoceratops". Looks like there is a center ridge and the profile works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
