Bargain .91" Tyrannosaur Tooth - Hell Creek Formation

This is a bargain Tyrannosaur tooth from the Hell Creek Formation of Carter County, Montana. It's missing it's tip but is otherwise is excellent condition. The enamel preservation is nearly flawless and the fine serrations on both edges are in great shape. It comes in an acrylic display case.

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.
