Raptor (Dromaeosaur) Teeth

Intriguing Dromaeosaur Teeth for Fossil Collectors

The Dromaeosaurs were the dominant raptor dinosaur of the late Cretaceous period (Hell Creek Fm.) This theropod was rather small at 7 feet, but made up for its size with a large mouth full of serrated teeth, sharp claws, and speed. Like the other raptors, they possessed a large "sickle" claw on each foot. The Dromaeosaurs probably hunted in packs and may have been feathered. Fossil remains include well preserved teeth, bones, and claws, and are highly valued by collectors. These top quality specimens were all legally collected from private lands in the northwestern US. Late Cretaceous, Hell Creek Fm. (or Lance Creek Fm.), 68-66 MYA and the Judith River Fm. (76-70 MYA). Authenticity guaranteed.

What Collectors Can Discover in This Collection

• Species-level variety: Our collection represents several dromaeosaurid raptors, including Dromaeosaurus, Acheroraptor temertyorum, and Saurornitholestes langstoni. Plus a probable Moroccan Kem Kem dromaeosaur. This variety gives collectors more opportunities to compare dromaeosaur teeth from different prehistoric raptors while building a more diverse selection of raptor teeth.
• Different tooth positions: Premaxillary and dentary teeth appear alongside more commonly identified specimens, giving collectors a chance to see how tooth shape and structure vary depending on position within the jaw.
• Distinctive crown details: Prominent longitudinal ribs run along the crowns of several specimens. These raised features add texture and definition, giving certain raptor teeth a distinctive look that becomes even more interesting upon close examination.
• Natural specimen variation: Differences in preservation and overall appearance give each fossil its own character. These natural differences also provide a closer look at what makes fossils genuine, making the collection appealing to collectors who appreciate both appearance and authenticity.
