Tyrannosaurus Rex Tooth Restoration


BellamyBlake

Recommended Posts

I obtained a nice Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth from the Lance Creek Formation of Wyoming. It was a good opportunity to try my hand at restoration. The tooth was around 80% complete, with some of the root missing and a dent near the tip. I only wanted to restore the latter part. Pretty good job, I think.

Nice repair.  I really think you have mostly a tooth crown and not much if any of the root.  The crown can decend  below the serrations.

Nice work. 

As an added bonus, it is called the Lance Formation, not the Lance Creek Formation.  

 

 

Oops, I appreciate the correction haha.
