Troodon Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Its a ceratopsian tooth. It appears to have a single root so it could be from the species Leptoceratops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Ceratopsian is a family of dinosaurs. Most species like Triceratops in the Hell Creek formation typically have teeth with two roots. A few species like Leptoceratops has one. Happy New year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
