.43" Theropod (Baby Tyrannosaur?) Tooth - Judith River Formation
This is a beautiful, little theropod tooth from the Judith River Formation of Montana. These small theropod teeth are always really hard to properly identify, but it appears this tooth is likely that of a baby Tyrannosaur.
Three species of tyrannosaur have been described from the Two Medicine & Judith River Formations: 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 genus because they are so similar.
