1.22" Tyrannosaur Tooth Partial - Montana
This is a 1.22" Tyrannosaur tooth from the Two Medicine Formation (Judith River Group) 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.
There is very little wear to the tip and most of the serrations are still present. A couple of repaired cracks with minor gap fill restoration in the cracks.
There are three described Tyrannosaurs from the Two Medicine Formation (Judith River Group), 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 genre because they are so similar.
I've linked to the research paper below.
