I've collected a few of these teeth and have to say that 6.4 mm tooth is beautiful and one of the biggest I've seen. Nice variety. Love bird material from the Hell Creek.

Awesome tooth Andy so how big is it?

Thanks! It's exactly 5.5"

Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday!

There have been many astonishing theropods' teeth being posted already, so let me share some herbivores' teeth which although tend not to be as popular by teeth collectors, they are still none-the-less equally beautiful:

Here are a few of my macro teeth... I am not sure where all my micros are, so I will pass on them for now. Self-collected in Wyoming and Montana. My fingers are used for scale on these.

First a tyrannosaur tooth from the Mesa Verde Fm... Campanian, so this is either Albertosaurus or Gorgosaurus. This site has produced a few of these.

And a nice fully double rooted Triceratops tooth from the Hell Creek of Montana.

A Nanotyrannus tooth from WY.

And lastly an Allosaurus premax tooth from the Morrison Fm of eastern WY. This one has a nice red color that dodn't quite come out here.

Not sure about that, auspex. It seems WyoRocks has been colletcing in both the Lance and the slightly older Mesa Verde, so this tooth could also be an older tyrannosaur... likemine posted above.

Thanks for the comment,WyoRocks. So, is that tooth from the Lance or MV? Oh,and by the way, you are kicking it around here. I have hunted these formations for years and have never come upon such a beauty as your tooth.

I definitely like your tyrannosaur tooth, quite rare from those parts. Nice find.

jpc, the tooth I entered in this thread is from the Hell Creek in Montana. I was walking around while working up there, wasn't even looking for fossils and then I saw a big dinosaur tooth lying on the ground (not this one but a smaller Tyrannosaurus rex tooth) and it shocked the heck out of me. Started looking hard then and found the tooth in this thread a few days later.

I hope you keep tabs on that spot. Two teeth are great but there may be more with erosion. May be a channel deposit or micro site. If they were found close together might even be the the remnants of a skull.

jpc, thanks for your compliment about my tooth. I will send you a list of the fossils I am finding so that we can get a definite ID of what formation they are. I found a nice triceratops tooth at the site I found the large tooth so I am thinking it is LC.

Cool... or come by the Tate Museum. We are up at casper College. I can have a look at them for you. In person. Call first cuz I am out in the field and on vacation a bit these days. 268-three zerozero 8.

That beautiful tooth sure looks more Hell Creekish than Lancish.

Great stuff in postings above. Here's a 'family' photo. Same teeth with and without raptor jaw. Campanian....Oldman Formation, remote Lost River. I like the nasty little guys.
