Description
Reconstruction of Appalachiosaurus montgomeriensis, a Mid Campanian tyrannosauroid from the Demopolis Chalk Formation in central Alabama (described by Carr, Williamson, and Schwimmer in 2005).Appalachiosaurus is so far known from only partial remains, including parts of the skull (see above), as well as several vertebrae, parts of the pelvis, and most of both hindlimbs. Only a juvenile skeleton has been found to date, representing an animal over 7 meters long and weighing over 600 kilograms, which indicates an adult would have been even larger. This species is notable as the most completely known theropod from the eastern part of North America.

I would love to buy a copy that I could download for a T shirt screen print... not for sale. I have been excavating this dinosaur's teeth over the past 6 months. Your art reconstruction of the only other example of Appalachiosaurus found is fantastic, and I would be proud to wear and frame your work!

Well first off, thank you! 
As I said in my reply to your note, you are more than welcome to use this as a T-shirt print for your friends and family as long as you're not selling it. I'm happy that someone liked my work enough to want to wear it!
I dig that you're getting friends and family involved in your fossil hunting. That's something I cannot do here in Adelaide, at least when it comes to Mesozoic fossils (which interest me most). This is because of a glaciation event that took place some time before the Pleistocene I believe, and scoured off everything down to the Permian. So we have very old rocks and very young rocks, but no Mesozoic deposits in between (at least not within driving distance). You are very lucky!
You said you have found 'teeth' as in plural? I take it you are sieving sediments then, probably near a river? How many have you found, and what are you going to do with them? Will they be donated to a museum or kept in a private collection? If you are planning on keeping them in your private collection, and if you have found many, I was going to suggest that rather than buying a print, would you settle for a trade? I would love to have a tyrannosaurid tooth.
If the answer is no, that's ok. Like I said in my reply, you're welcome to download this and use it for your T-shirts all the same.

Hi, I have been out of town this weekend and this is the first chance I had to read your reply. I have no intentions of selling an image that you, or anyone created. I certainly appreciate your generosity. As far as the teeth. I have found four teeth, and am in the process of working out a donation to Smithsonian for research purposes. Apparently they don't have any. I want to keep one. Unfortunately I can't give you a tooth. Maybe I can come up with something else. I am not one to ignore acts of kindness. In the meantime, have a great Australian spring. Winter is moving in here. Bob

Ah, I got the impression you had found many teeth. Being that rare, I commend you for donating them to the Smithsonian and I hope you find more! You could make moulds of the teeth and cast them. I've done this with a Carcharodontosaurus tooth from my collection. It's really quite simple. At least that way you could keep copies of the three you choose to donate, and send them a copy of the one you choose to keep.
If you like. Don't feel obligated or anything. As I said, I'm quite happy for you to make your shirts... I don't expect anything in return.
I might have a crack at remaking this sketch. I think I can make some improvements...
