.59" Partial, Allosaurus Tooth With Croc Tooth - Colorado

Partial, Allosaurus Tooth With Croc Tooth - Colorado #162502

This is a partial, .59" long, serrated Allosaurus tooth still partially embedded in the sandstone it was found in. The missing tip looks like it is damage that happened prior to fossilization though it does not appear to be feeding related. There is a small crocodile tooth naturally associated with it.

It comes from the Morrison Formation at our partners private quarry East of Dinosaur, Colorado.

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.
