Description

Undescribed tyrannosaurid
Late Cretaceous
Aguja Formation
Bruester City, Texas, USA

Beautiful 43mm (1.7 inches) tooth. The tyrannosaurs of the Aguja Formation are only just now being studied so at the moment this species is unnamed. This is probably the best tooth we have ever had from the Aguja.
