Serrated, 1.62" Tyrannosaur Tooth - Feeding Worn Tip
This is a 1.62" Tyrannosaur tooth from the Judith River Formation of Montana. This formation is approximately 70 million years old, or about 5 million years old than the Hell Creek Formation which produces T-Rex.
Nice serrations on the inner edge of the tooth but worn on the outer edge. There is some interesting feeding damage to the tip. A couple crack repairs but no restoration.

Comes with a floating frame display case.
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.
