Three Juvenile T-Rex Teeth. These three complete juvenile T-Rex teeth are between 1.75 and 1.5 inches long and have excellent brown enamel with some minor enamel cracking, full tips except for some natural feeding wear, and even some serrations. Two inches is a large size for a juvenile T-Rex. All T-Rex teeth are shed teeth except the very few that are found with the dozen or so partial skeletons that have been found. These teeth were found in an ancient river or lake bed on a private ranch in the 65-67 million year old Hell Creek Formation of Powder River County, Montana. All of these teeth have squared-off bases at the bottom of the teeth, which is definitive for T-Rex teeth. There is still some debate as to whether the smaller, more slender teeth of the Juvenile T-Rex belong to T-Rex or are adult teeth of the smaller species Nano tyrannus. This is a difficult question to answer because they are found in the same age-rock formation. However, since there is only one complete skull of Nano tyrannus and only isolated teeth, claws and bones, these teeth probably are juvenile T-Rex teeth as there are many skeletons, mostly partial, of juvenile T-Rexes and the teeth do match those found in the juvenile T-Rex skull. Encased in a 6 x 5 inch
Ryker Mount.
