.87" Feeding Worn Allosaurus Tooth On Sandstone - Colorado

Feeding Worn Allosaurus Tooth On Sandstone - Colorado #177376

This is a feeding worn, .87" long, serrated Allosaurus tooth collected this summer from our partners private quarry East of Dinosaur, Colorado. The tip is missing and appears to be due to feeding wear. Visible serrations on both edges of the tooth. It was prepared so that the piece of sandstone it was found in forms a nice 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.
