1.72" Serrated Dinosaur (Allosaurus) Tooth - Colorado

Serrated Dinosaur (Allosaurus) Tooth - Colorado #245959

This is a serrated, 1.72" long Allosaurus tooth collected from our partner's private quarry East of Dinosaur, Colorado. It has nice enamel and serrations can be found along both edges. It has been prepped completely free from the rock it was found in. The tooth is warped towards the apical end along its mesial edge. Some spots of gap fill restoration can be found within gaps along both edges, though the gap fill only makes up approximately 4-5% of the tooth. The tip wasn't recovered.

Comes with a floating frame display case.

Allosaurus was a genus of carnosaurian theropod that lived from 156 to 145 million years ago during the Late Jurassic. Allosaurus species were predators with massive skulls, serrated teeth, and gaping jaws. This powerful and plentiful carnivore genus could grow more than 30 feet long. Their fossils are abundant in the Morrison Formation, leading some to suggest that Allosaurus species may have been pack hunters.
