Description

A VERY LARGE AND PRISTINE T. REX TOOTH
Tyrannosaurus rex
Late Cretaceous - 65-68 million years old
Hell Creek Formation, Garfield County, Near Jordan, Montana
This tooth, while not as large as the previous two examples, exhibits gorgeous, pristine surfaces and perfect serrations on both the anterior and posterior cutting edges. The tooth possesses exquisite natural luster and the most beautiful colors running from yellow-brown to reddish dark chocolate-brown, nicely accented by dark blotches and checking. Less than 10% restoration has been done, primarily at the base of the posterior serrate row and a 1/4 section of the tooth base. Measuring 3 1/4 inches by 1 1/2 inches wide at the base by 1 1/8 inches thick. A superb quality tooth of a T. rex.
