1.57" Big, Feeding Worn Allosaurus Tooth On Sandstone - Colorado

Big, Feeding Worn Allosaurus Tooth On Sandstone - Colorado #182605

This is a big, fat, feeding worn Allosaurus tooth collected this summer from our partners private quarry East of Dinosaur, Colorado. This is a very large, Allosaurus tooth but much of the tip has been worn down due to feeding activity. Serrations are visible along one edge of the tooth, though they are worn from the other. Some of the sandstone was left in place during preparation, creating a natural display base.

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.
