1.45" Serrated, Allosaurus Tooth On Sandstone - Colorado

Serrated, Allosaurus Tooth On Sandstone - Colorado #173067

This is a robust, 1.45" long, serrated Allosaurus tooth collected this summer from our partners private quarry East of Dinosaur, Colorado. A fair amount of enamel is worn away but it has really nice serrations and is very thick in cross section. There is one repaired crack in the middle of the tooth. The sandstone it was found in was shaped to create a nice display base for 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.
