lexandc Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Hi guys, I have recently acquired this tooth. It was sold as a Tyrannosauridae indet tooth from Bissekty Formation. I thought it could be Timurlengia, but i was not sure. From what I read, not much Timurlengia material has been found.. The tooth is about 2 inch long, and it is a little bit worn out. Its serrations are quite small. The serration density is about 12 denticles per 5mm. I am hoping someone can confirm the species for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it really is Timurlengia euotica then. Thank you @Troodon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first Tyrannosaur (sort of) tooth. And to think my mom thought i have been conned and bought a wild boar tusk. Now i can tell her proudly that this is a Tyrannosaur tooth. ( though I might omit the part where it looked nothing like the one in Jurassic Park) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Timurlengia eutoica does not look like Tyrannosaurus rex, it is a predecessor that led to the evolution of the great Tyrannosauridae family, equally as cool in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masp Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I recently joined the Timurlengia club a few days ago lol. Awesome acquisition, your tooth is cool! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikokuryu Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I also bought a tooth from that same seller classifying them as Tyrannosauridae indet. I wasn't familiar with Bissekty fossils either, but figured it was a Timurlengia tooth that was labeled before it was properly discovered so I bought it out of curiosity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
