This is one of my nicer dino fossils. It is a complete hadrosaur jaw that preserves the entire dentary.

Thanks! I certainly would have included details had I been the lucky finder. The diggers literally cried tears of joy when it was discovered.

When it was time to pay for it, I shed some tears too! :P

I will get a 4+ inch one one day. The one I just bought is just over an inch.

@rejd- Nice teeth, love the rooted Hadrosaur tooth.

Thanks, It's no T-rex tooth but it is one of my favorites.

Many of the teeth in this thread are making me :drool: and :envy: .

While its very hard to pick just one, since a group of them is just so much more amazing! My favorite group in my collection would probably be my North American Tyrannosaur teeth comprising of T-Rex, Daspletosaurus, Albertosaurus and Nanotyrannus:

This Nanotyrannus/juvenile Tyrannosaurus (I believe them to be synonymous) tooth is undoubtedly my best. It comes from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana.

Wow this thread is booming, great teeth everyone!

AJ that Daspletosaurus tooth is particularly stunning.

Are you joking? I'm pretty surprised you picked that one.

It's no show stopper or museum quality tooth but kinda cool non-the-less...

From an un described new species of lower Cretaceous Albertosaurus, found in Utah... A few other isolated teeth have been found but no cranial/post cranial elements yet!

Cheers chris

Very cool tooth and I'm :envy: I disagree with you its a show stopper and a museum type of tooth. How many folks have large Certaceous theropod teeth from Utah and I'll bet you most museums would love to have it in their collections.

If it's from the Lower Cretaceous, that means it is older than 106 million years, and that means it is also the earliest tyrannosaur. So I doubt its age.
