It's #FossilFriday! I found this tyrannosaur tooth last summer in the "Mesaverde" Formation of Wyoming, during our excavation of a vertebrate microfossil bonebed. I found a second one the same day -- what a thrill! Collected under permit from #BLMPaleo, accessioned at @alfpaleo.bsky.social

Enjoy this maxillary tooth from an Allosaurus. Found in western Colorado on BLM lands. #BLMPaleo
I love this tooth! Great resorption pit with a new tooth just starting to form inside. Such a great teaching specimen!
The Dinosaur Hill (BLM MCNCA) trail in Fruita, Colorado got a lot of amazing new upgrades this year! #BLMPALEO
