FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

Nanotyrannus and juvenile T-Rex teeth are very similar. Nanotyrannus teeth (other than anteriors) have a rectangular shape when viewed from the bottom, T-Rex are more oval. The enamel and dentine combination on T-Rex are thicker than Nano (again viewed from the bottom). With these teeth a bottom view is necessary.
@bill-heim, excuse me. I must have missed this comment. I added a picture of the base. Not easy but if it’s not a good one let me know and I’ll add another one.
Looks like a juvenile T-Rex. Seems to have thick enamel and oval shape. However, I want to say that I am not positive on the ID.
@bill-heim, I’ll add this tooth as cf. Tyrannosaurus rex? Does that sound as an acceptable ID?
Works for me. Tyrannosaur teeth from almost any species are almost impossible to tell apart.
