2.3" Large, Allosaurus Tooth In Sandstone - Colorado

Large, Allosaurus Tooth In Sandstone - Colorado #173073

This is a large, 2.3" long, serrated Allosaurus tooth collected this summer from our partners private quarry East of Dinosaur, Colorado. The tooth is missing one edge but many of the serrations are still visible. There are a number of areas of repair with some gap fill restoration.

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.
