AranHao Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 I have a nanotyrannus tooth( 2 1/8" inches )from the Hell Creek Formation of Montana. But now I have doubts about its authenticity ,Because I saw a fossilID topic that ultimately thought it was Dakotaraptor,I think mine is a bit similar,So is it a Dakotaraptor tooth or a Nanotyrannus tooth? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Its a Nanotyrannus tooth. Has all of the features of one in the base and size. Dromaeosaurid teeth never get that large. Nice tooth. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jikohr Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 If you look at the base you see how it pinches inward from both sides, that's how you know it's a Nano. If you look at the base of the tooth in that thread it only pinches on one side which is why it wasn't an automatic Nano. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see, thanks for your kind interpretation :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
