Description

T-rex Dinosaur Tooth
Tyrannosaurus rex
Late Cretaceous
Hell Creek Formation
Garfield County, Montana, USA

This substantial tooth of Tyrannosaurus rex from the famed Hell Creek Formation of Montana measures over 4.6 inches (11.7 cm) in length and stands as a commanding example of Late Cretaceous theropod dentition. The Hell Creek deposits, renowned for yielding some of the most significant dinosaur fossils in North America, have long defined our scientific understanding of the last great Age of Dinosaurs, and large tyrannosaur teeth remain among the most sought-after of all discoveries. Boasting a pronounced curvature, impressive girth, and very rich chocolate-brown coloration, the monster tooth exhibits the "classic" fine serrations along its twisting edges that characterize this apex predator's cutting dentition. The specimen is rather complete to the base, which displays a sizable natural cavity extending into the tooth, and it evidences good overall condition with relatively minimal and meticulous restoration to the slick surface. Monumental in scale and unmistakable in form, this iconic T. rex tooth is superlative not only for its immense size but also for the powerful visual presence that truly 'looks the part' from the King of the Cretaceous.
Measurements: 4.61 x 1.94 x 1.33 inches (11.70 x 4.92 x 3.38 cm)
