.63" Partial Tyrannosaur Tooth - Montana

This is a .63" long Tyrannosaur tooth from the Hell Creek Formation of Montana. It has beautiful enamel, some substantial feeding wear to the tip and slight bits of weathering. It comes in an acrylic display case.

The tooth is likely from either Tyrannosaurus rex or a large Nanotyrannus. There is a hot debate among paleontologists about whether Nanotyrannus and Tyrannosaurus rex (T-Rex) are really the same species, with Nanotyrannus representing juveniles. Recent finds that are soon to be published should put this debate to rest, definitively proving that Nanotyrannus is in fact a separate genus and valid genus. Nano teeth tend to be much more finely serrated, and much thinner/blade like t-rex teeth, in addition to being smaller.
