undescribed Tyrannosauridae (Ford and Chure, 2002)
Late Campanian, Late Cretaceous
El Gallo Formation, Mexico
Material- (IGM 4302; = LACM 20886) (juvenile) tooth
(IGM coll.; = LACM 7253/28999) (juvenile) tooth
(IGM coll.; = LACM 3294/24580) (juvenile) tooth
teeth (Rodriguez, 1999; Rodriguez de la Rosa and Aranda-Manteca, 2000)
Description- These are laterally compressed and they are serrated on both
carinae. Denticles are chisel-shaped, decrease in size toward the base and
tip of the tooth, and the tyrannosaurid blood grooves run obliquely from
between the denticles and extend toward the tooth base (Rodriguez, 1999).
Comments- Supposedly a potentially new taxon.
