Albertosaurus Dinosaur Tooth. Albertosaurus was a somewhat smaller version of its more famous cousin T-Rex growing to just over 30 feet long. Unlike T-Rex, Albertosaurus had two short bony crests above its eyes and was also older than T-Rex at 70 million years old and found only in the Judith River Formation of Montana and Canada. This 2½" brown tooth has one excellent side with complete dark brown enamel with excellent detail that shows the growth ripples somewhat like the growth rings in a tree. There are also good serrations on the bottom side of the tooth The serrations on the top of the tooth are missing and 80% of the enamel is missing on the back side of the tooth. This tooth is very large for an Albertosaurus and is contained in a 5½ x 4¼" Riker mount. Estimated Value $300 - 450
