This is a very unusual tooth of Albertosaurus sp. from Alberta, Canada. Albertosaurus was a large, carniverous dinosaur related to Tyrannosaurus. Albertosaurus had a huge skull with sharp, serrated teeth. This tooth is one of the few premaxillary, or''nipper'', teeth found in the very front of the jaw. Usually, carniverous dinosaur teeth have a set of serrations on each opposite cutting edge - premax teeth have both sets of serrations on only one edge, smooth on the other - better for ''nipping'' prey. The specimen has nice serrations intact, and almost no wear on the tip of the tooth. The tooth has no repair or restoration, which is extremely uncommon for a premax tooth. This is a very collectible example of a front tooth from this large meat-eating dinosaur.
