Serrated, 1.49" Tyrannosaur Tooth - Judith River Formation

This is a serrated, 1.49" long Tyrannosaur tooth from the Judith River Formation of Montana. This formation is approximately 70 million years old, or about 5 million years older than the Hell Creek Formation which produces T. rex. Comes with a floating frame display case.

Given the shape it is likely a premax tooth. It has gorgeous enamel preservation and good serrations but the very tip is missing.


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.
