Bargain, Allosaurus Tooth On Sandstone - Colorado #177381

This is a bargain, .73" long, serrated Allosaurus tooth collected this summer from our partners private quarry East of Dinosaur, Colorado. The tip is missing and it is broken off near the base, hence the bargain price. Visible serrations along one edge of the tooth. It was left partially embedded in the sandstone it was found in.

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.
