DSMJake Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Looking for an ID on this raptor tooth from Judith River. Trying out a new clip-on macro lens for the first time… apologies for the picture quality. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeS Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Hi, nice little tooth. Do you have information on the county it was found in, just to confirm Judith River Fm. So far, it looks like a Saurornitholestes langstoni tooth, with the hooked shape of the distal denticles. The placement of the mesial carina and the shape of the base point towards a premaxillary tooth - straight-in pictures without fingers covering parts of the tooth would be more helpful 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSMJake Posted July 22 Author Share Posted July 22 Thanks JoeS! It’s from Valley County, MT. Here are some more pictures (with less finger!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frightmares Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I agree, Saurornitholesthes premax. Nice tooth! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeS Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Great pictures, thanks! In the last picture you can see the more flat lingual side and some nice ridges running alongside. So it could very well be a second premax. tooth of Saurornitholestes. See this paper for some details: https://anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ar.24241 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
