.96" Tyrannosaur Tooth - Judith River Formation

This is a .96" Tyrannosaur tooth from the Judith River Formation, Montana. This formation is approximately 70 million years old, or about 5 million years old than the Hell Creek Formation which produces T-Rex.

A tooth of this size would have probably come from a juvenile/sub-adult animal. This is a fourth premaxillary tooth from the left side of the jaw. It is in good condition, with excellent enamel and some wear at the point. The serrations on premaxillary are only on the distal edge and are in good condition and easily visible. Comes with an acrylic 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.
