1.57" Serrated Tyrannosaur Tooth - Judith River Formation
This is a serrated, 1.57" long Tyrannosaur tooth 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.
The enamel is very nice on one side but half worn on the other. Most of the serrations are visible and the tip appears to have feeding damage.

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.
