Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus, and Daspletosaurus

The Judith River Formation is approximately 70 million years old, or about 5 million years older than the Hell Creek Formation, which produces Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Tyrannosaurs from the Late Cretaceous of northern North America—Albertosaurus, Daspletosaurus, and Gorgosaurus—form a fierce family of predators. Their fossils, uncovered in Montana’s Judith River and Alberta formations, trace back to early relatives of the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex. Though smaller than T. rex, Daspletosaurus and Gorgosaurus dominated their domain at about 30 feet long and up to 5,000 pounds, coexisting as top hunters. Albertosaurus matched their length but was lighter, around 4,000 pounds, and emerged slightly later. This lineage stands as a bold testament to the raw power of prehistoric life.

Albertosaurus, Daspletosaurus, and Gorgosaurus teeth of similar sizes and designs make the identification of isolated teeth nearly impossible. Daspletosaurus would be slightly larger than the other two Tyrannosaurus, and it was in the same subfamily as Tyrannosaurus rex. So, Daspletosaurus is more closely related to Tyrannosaurus rex and may have had tooth characteristics more like Tyrannosaurus rex. Albertosaurus teeth are typically smaller and thinner since they would be used for slicing prey. These tyrannosaur teeth from the Late Cretaceous of northern North America are high-quality and exceptional teeth and are fantastic examples of an early relative of Tyrannosaurus rex.
