Serrated, 1.19" Tyrannosaur Tooth Tip - Montana

This is a serrated, 1.19" Tyrannosaur tooth tio from the Two Medicine Formation (Judith River Group) of Montana. This formation is approximately 70 million years old, or about 5 million years old than the Hell Creek Formation which produces T-Rex.

It has nice serrations and minimal wear to the tip, but has a repaired crack and missing section on one side. Comes with an acrylic display case.

There are three described Tyrannosaurs from the Two Medicine Formation (Judith River Group), 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 genre because they are so similar.
