Canadian Tyrannosauridae


Recommended Posts

So i recently aquired this little Tyrannosauridae tooth. 

 

Near Red deer river

Oldman Formation

Belly river group

Southern Alberta, Canada

 

I think we can conclude it at Indeterminate Tyrannosaur tooth? Opinions?

Tyrannosauridae indet. is best option.  Daspletosaurus is described from there but I believe there is also an undescribed Albertosaurini as well

Red Deer River Valley has Oldman, Foremost and Dinosaur Park Formations in it.  From my understanding, it is predominantly Oldman Formation but contains the other two formations I mentioned.  Hard to get good provenance, try asking the original owner if you can get better any more precise.

Yea i also still need to find a map. Had given some information location wise. But nothing more than that is said now. 

 

Besides that. Pretty much still Indeterminate as Gorgosaurus has been found at places nearby as well.

The red deer river valley also contains horseshoe canyon fm. Definitely need to know a locality in this case. Red deer river valley is very long.

As musicnfossils says, the red deer river valley is very big and exposes many different formations. It can exposes the scollard, horseshoe canyon, Oldman, dinosaur park or foremost formations. More information on the locality the tooth was found would be better to identify it.
