Tyrannosaur tooth?


TheropodGuy

Recommended Posts

Hello,I am new to this forum.

 

I recently acquired this tooth not that long ago,I was hoping it would be a Tyrannosaurid.Then I started to have some doubts looking at other papers.I understand you can’t identify Tyrannosaur Campanian teeth further down to Gorgosaurus, Daspletosaurus, and etc. at this size.

 

I just hope to find out if it is a Tyrannosaurid or some other group of theropods like Dromeosaurs.

My original idea is that it was too large to be a Dromeosaur from this formation. So I went with the Tyrannosaur ID but I have doubts.

 

Info: Tyrannosaur tooth? with a partial Hadrosaur tooth

Location:Judith River Formation, Hill County, Montana

“1.05” inches long.

There seems to be no Mesial serrations or they are worn down.



Thanks for the help. I’ll of course add more photos if needed!😊

Very nice piece ! Two rare and beautiful teeth so close to each other ... thats not a daily find . Thats a Tyrannosaur tooth. I dont now to which exact spezies it belongs to , its not a Dromeosaur tooth because Dromeosaur has a more curved tooth shape , a different root shape and also a different side serration than T-Rex . The hadrosaur tooth ist also nice because it still has a big piece of its root (which is very rare to find !) attached to It . The Tyrannosaurid tooth also kinda looks like these Tyrannasaurid teeth :

Looks like tyrannosaur to me as well. Nice added bonus with the hadrosaur tooth.
