Serrated, 1.03" Allosaurus Tooth With Feeding Wear - Colorado

This is a 1.03" long, serrated Allosaurus tooth with a feeding worn tip. It was left partially embedded in the sandstone matrix that it was found in. The tooth has nice enamel and nice serrations along one edge. It was collected this past year from our partners private quarry near Dinosaur, Colorado. There is some stabilization to the base of the tooth.

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.
