Dinosaur teeth from North Carolina are very rare to come by. There are only a small handful of sites where they have come from. One of the sites is well known, but the others are a closely guarded secret. 

 

Those of you who have been lucky to find such things, let's see your pictures. Not mosasaurs, not plesiosaurs but land dwelling dinosaurs. 

 

Here are mine.

 

First a Tyrannosauroidea indet.

 

There are two known Tyrannosaurids from N.C. Dryptosaurus and Appalachasaurus.The small size of this tooth will most likely keep it from being able to be ID'd to Genus level. It is 9.8 mm long, 6.4 mm wide and 3.5 mm thick.

 

    

 

      

 

 

 

    

 

  

 

The next tooth is Hadrosauridae indet. It is 17.7 mm long, 8.7 mm wide and 6.7 mm thick.

 

  

The third and final tooth has been determined to be an indeterminate Dromaeosaurid. It is 7.1 mm long, 2.8 mm wide and 1.6 mm thick.

 

          

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These are amazing finds, I'm curious what is that putty you used to prop up the Tyrannosaurid tooth in the first pic? I have some teeth in my collection and I am trying to find a way of standing them up without the use of riker mounts.

I use Blutack putty for photos but would not recommend it for a permanent application on dinosaur fossil especially teeth.

Is there a kind of putty you would recommend? or should I just get creative.

No I would not put any tooth on putty they are too fragile.   All of my teeth are in rikers, gelcell containers or left in matrix.  Small teeth I like gem jars.

I've seen wire stands made for larger teeth but I don't like them.   

 

Here is my Acro tooth in a Gel case

When I purchased them the best value was the stores on your auction site direct from China.

That Dromaeosaurid tooth is just lovely - what a nice find!
