Feeding Worn Allosaurus Tooth - Colorado #169043

This is a .78" long Allosaurus tooth collected this past summer. It comes from the Morrison Formation at our partners private quarry East of Dinosaur, Colorado. The tooth has substantial wear to the tip and to the serrations.

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.
