Serrated, Allosaurus Tooth In Sandstone - Colorado #173065

This is a 1.09" long, serrated Allosaurus tooth still partially embedded in the sandstone it was found in. It comes from the Morrison Formation at our partners private quarry East of Dinosaur, Colorado. While the tip is damaged the tooth has nice enamel preservation and serrations.

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.
