1.97" Serrated, Allosaurus Tooth On Sandstone - Colorado

This is a large, 1.97" long, serrated Allosaurus tooth collected this past summer from the Morrison Formation. It comes from our partners private quarry East of Dinosaur, Colorado.

This tooth is very large, and is beautifully preserved with excellent enamel, serrations and almost no fracturing or crushing often seen on Morrison Formation teeth. It was left on the sandstone during preparation, which creates and aesthetic display base. Only a few repaired cracks and some very minor crack fill restoration mid tooth.

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.
