Authentic Nanotyrannus Tooth #2

Description

Many paleontologists believe that Nanotyrannus is a separate genus of Tyrannosaurid dinosaur, and NOT a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex. For instance, the tooth of a T.rex is slightly more conical than that of a Nanotyrannus.  Additionally, the skull and other skeletal parts differ between the two.
