1.52" Tyrannosaur Tooth On Stone - Judith River Formation

This is a 1.52" long Tyrannosaur tooth on stone, from the Judith River Formation of Montana. This formation is approximately 75 million years old, or about 9 million years older than the Hell Creek Formation which also produces T. rex. This tooth has a feeding worn tip.

The tooth has been compressed during fossilization which caused some cracking. The tooth has a repair and the surrounding rock has been stabalized. The rock contains unrelated bone, tooth and shell fragments.

Three species of tyrannosaur have been described from the Two Medicine & Judith River Formations: Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus and Daspletosaurus. Research done on teeth from these three tyrannosaurs has concluded that isolated teeth are statistically impossible to assign to a specific genus because they are so similar.
