Its serrations are very well defined. Its enamel has a great range of colors. Not only the tooth belongs to an unusual theropod family, but its fossilization is tremendously beautiful too.

This teeth have generally a compressed morphology, the cross section is oval at the base, the mesial side is strongly curved and the distal side is almost straight to the base of the tooth. Usually the two edges have equally developed serrations. This last feature easily differentiates them from the teeth of the Dromaeosauridae family.
