Curved, 1.98" Tyrannosaur Tooth - Montana

This is a curved, 1.98" Tyrannosaur tooth from the Two Medicine Formation (Judith River Group) of Montana. This formation is approximately 70 million years old, or about 5 million years old than the Hell Creek Formation which produces T-Rex.

About half of the serrations are still present on this tooth, and the enamel looks pretty nice. There are a few repaired cracks with minor gap fills.

There are three described Tyrannosaurs from the Two Medicine Formation (Judith River Group), 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 genre because they are so similar.
