Serrated, .7" Tyrannosaur Tooth - Judith River Formation, Montana

This is a .7" Tyrannosaur tooth from the Judith River Formation 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.

Fine serrations along both edges of the tooth however the enamel has worn away on much of the tooth, towards the root. There is also feeding wear to the tip of this tooth. 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.
