Tyrannosaurus rex, 2.038”, Carter Co., MT
GTS posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Fellow members, I am considering purchasing this tooth which is advertised as being a T. rex tooth from the HCF of Carter Co., MT. The seller isn’t able to provide the nearest town. The enamel isn’t perfect but I am guessing that much of the value will be in the length. I am told that there is no repair nor restoration - can anyone see any evidence that might suggest otherwise? The description also states that there is some partial root present. From research, it seems to be an average specimen as is typically found. Or perhaps somewhat above average given that most teeth found are in a worse state. Might members agree that this is a nice 2” T. rex tooth (albeit with some enamel missing) at this price point. There are better out there but those perfect examples will be well north of much more, one suspects. Thankyou in advance.- 11 replies

Recently acquired this beautiful T. rex tooth, just over 5cm / 2” length. Such teeth are typically dark brown / mahogany coloured but this specimen appears to have escaped the usual staining. The location of find (Hell Creek Fmn, nr. Mosby, Garfield Co., Montana, USA), basal rectangular cross section and thicker enamel supports identification that this is a Tyrannosaurus rex maxillary tooth. The fact that the whitish / pale colouration is consistent throughout, absence of pitting / “dried out” appearance / absence of splintering would seem to preclude sun-bleaching.

From the album: Hell Creek / Lance Formations
A young T. rex tooth. The preservation of the enamel is fantastic, and I like the dark hues. The serrations are also in great shape. There is some minor feeding wear on the tip.-

Hey y'all. I've had this therapod tooth for a while, and I'm wondering if an id can be placed on it. It's completely shattered unfortunately, so I don't expect an id to be easy. It's from the Hell Creek formation. It was labeled as T. rex, but I'm not convinced. Though, I've very little knowledge of dinosaur teeth. I've attached various photos of the tooth in question, and some reference serrations from a probable rex. Thank you!

From the album: My Collection
Hell Creek Formation, Faith, South Dakota, USA It is a beautiful tooth with no restoration. The tooth has the characteristic d shape profile of a trex tooth on the basal side and this sort of preservation is actually fairly common with tooth also collected from other locations such as Wyoming. The first ever dinosaur tooth that I owned!-

Hey, just want to ask for some opinion whether if this tooth looks like a genuine T-Rex? While its not so fat in terms of shape like some of the clear T-Rex teeth out there, I have seen some pictures of certain teeth that seem to look a little thinner and more curvy that are supposedly T-Rex, so I can't be sure. It's a Hell Creek tooth BTW. If its not a rex what could this possibly be? An Albertosaurus seem like a likely candidate? Though from what I can see so far, it seems like a nice-looking tooth eventhough it apparently have had some restoration work done to it. What do u guys think?

Does This Tooth Tip Serration Looks To Be In T-Rex's Domain?
AJ Plai posted a topic in Questions & Answers
A while ago I got myself what supposedly is a T-Rex tooth tip, though I have never been able to fully confirm whether if it was really a T-Rex or a Nanotyrannus. I have read about the T-Rex serration count (2 serration or less per mm, if I remember correctly) as a way to help identify a Rex tooth. Well, I have just managed to find a way to take a pic through a loupe with the tooth tip laying beside a tape measure to get a close-up of its serration. The tooth tip does seem to fit the bill (2 serration / mm) though, I think its probably better to upload the pics and let others with more expertise than me handling these teeth to take a look and share their input & opinions as well, just to be sure in case I may miss something. Anyway here is what the tooth tip looks like: And here are the pics of the serration count zoomed up close: So, does the tooth tip looks to be a T-Rex from the look of it? Thx in advance guys- 26 replies
