1.55" Serrated, Allosaurus Tooth In Sandstone - Colorado

Serrated, Allosaurus Tooth In Sandstone - Colorado #128464

This is a 1.55" long Allosaurus tooth still embedded in the sandstone that it was found in. The tooth has nice enamel and unlike most Morrison teeth is NOT heavily fractured. It was collected this past year from our partners private quarry near Dinosaur, Colorado.

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.
