TOP GRADE TRICERATOPS TOOTH WITH BLACK ENAMEL AND WHITE PARTIAL ROOT Hell Creek Formation, South Dakota, U.S.A. LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD: 72 - 65 million years ago Collected from the famous Hell Creek Formation of Northwestern U.S.A., this is a uniquely colored and very high grade tooth from one of the most famous dinosaurs of all time, Triceratops. Unlike all black or brown teeth usually found, this one is similar to a phosphate fossil shark tooth in its very rare color - blue-black enamel and a bone white partial root similar to the hadrosaur tooth we recently offered. A gem of a tooth! No fossil tooth collection should be without at least one nice complete crown example tooth of one of the "household name" dinosaurs of America's Late Cretaceous. Tooth is 100% natural and as found! NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION. Highly recommended and a one-of-a-kind color example! Triceratops is the most famous of the great horned dinosaurs. This plant-eating group has been found in the fossil record in greater abundance than all the other varieties. A full grown Triceratops is estimated to have weighed 11 tons, heavier than a modern African bull elephant. Its skull was 6.5 feet long with a pair of brow horns that exceeded 3 feet in length. UNIQUELY COLORED AND HIGH GRADE CROWN AND PARTIAL ROOT! .75" long SOLD DT19-001 INCLUDES DISPLAY BOX Actual Item - One Only |
