At its maximum size, this 2.5 inch tooth is from the swift meat-eater Deltadromeus agilis.  High grade, properly identified specimens are very hard to locate and it has been over 10 years since we have seen teeth of this quality.  With much of the dinosaur fossil remains in this area now completely dug out and large parts of the formation leveled, it is likely that teeth like this will now be found mainly in older collections as this one was in. 

The color is a beautiful rich intense red orange hue with supreme, naturally lustrous enamel.  Tooth is complete with intact tip and preserved serrations.  What appear to look like repairs are actually age fissures that have been filled with minerals over time.  A small spot on the trailing edge shows erosion and natural filling with silicified sand.  UNBROKEN WITH NO REPAIR OR RESTORATION.  One of the last large and best ones we have from an old acquisition made many years ago.
