Hello!!! I have been offered this tooth. The seller says it is from Albertosaurus and comes from Montana. Without restoration, they have only used glue. What do you think? Thank you very much and sorry for the quality of the photos but the seller does not know how to make them better ...

I would like to see a better photo of the tip area its too dark and out of focus.   Looks like the tooth was broken about half way down and reattached.

 

I again need to known location city, town or county/formation since Montana has many different age deposits.  Having said that Albertosaurus is not known from Montana its just described from Alberta.

The seller told me that it is from Hell Creek... but he is an old man and he do not remember.

It really does not look like a Hell Creek Formation tooth.   Most likely Campanian in age and if so its an indeterminate Tyrannosaurid

Thank you so much. No idea about posible species? Do you think is a good one?

This tooth is obviously broken and glued back together.  You have an unclear ID and god knows where this tooth really was found. I think @Troodon has the best ID possible with the information provided.

 

I would stay away from it. There are enough good Tyrannosaurid indet teeth out there. I would not buy any obviously broken Tyrannosaurid tooth with an wrong/unclear location.

 

But again it's just my opinion.

You cannot differentiate between tyrannosaurid  species that are Campanian in age.  It's either Gorgosaurus or Torvorsaurus but remember we are guessing since there is no locality identified.  The tooth is fair in condition

Torvorsaurus? :P

Is this supposed to be Daspletosaurus?

I hear Torvosaurus teeth are pretty rare in the Campanian Judith River :heartylaugh:
