A friend of mine sent it to me today. I will take photos when it arrives. I haven't seen any other blue gel looking teeth. There are opal dino teeth but not from USA and also I haven't seen opal teeth in a jaw bone.
This piece originated from well known Utah dino collector around 35 years ago. It has two other teeth in the jaw section, smaller, but almost complete. 5" jaw section from some kind of meat eater.
also have a small blue vertebrae pair to show that was once Ernie Shirleys(arguably the most legendary dino bone dealer). Saturday it is suppose to warm up nice. Looks like winter may be on its way out.

can't wait to see more pictures! Saturday should be a good day for taking photos of it, then, too!
Next week is predicted to have a day or two over 32 degrees here... I can't say when we have seen that high of temps, sounds like a heat wave. Well, compared to the 4 below when I woke up this morning, I guess it will be!
watching closely and waiting for more pictures. It sounds like a wonderful and very interesting piece!

Mike, ya mean holy Molar? ROFL, snowmom! Love the blue tooth, bhiatt, and did you get a chance to take any pics of the blue vertebrae? Are the tooth and vertebrae from the same dino? |

Awesome jaw bone with blue teeth, bhiatt! What kind of dinos did the teeth belong? |

Im not for shure yet on what dino. Meat eater for shure and a big one. This blue gel is about as rare as it gets as far as dino teeth from North America. I have never seen another blue gel dino tooth from North America. Not saying they aren't out there but.... Especially being intact in the jaw still.

Designed for business. What a killing machine. Easy to avoid sharks and gators, just stay out of the water. Imagine that critter stalking you on land.

just about gives me the creeps, except that it is so darn awesome! Shows the details very well in the pictures here, it is just an amazing piece on all sides. That would have a place of honor so I could look at it and gloat over it a LOT. thanks for the pictures!
