- Lot Description
North America, Western United States, Montana, Hell Creek Formation, Cretaceous, ca. 68 to 65.5 million years ago. This is a fossilized tooth fragment from the most famous dinosaur: T-Rex, Tyrannosaurus, the Tyrant Lizard King. This naturally lustrous tooth has a beautiful black and mottled brown hue and retains most of the serrated edges! The serrations helped this dinosaur to slice through the flesh of prey or scavenged remains. Size: 0.75" L x 0.4" W (1.9 cm x 1 cm)
The most famous dinosaurs of all time are undoubtedly the large, meat-eating members of the Tyrannosauridae family. This family includes species such as Nanotyrannus, Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Tarbosaurus, and the most infamous of all, Tyrannosaurus rex. The emergence of all tyrannosaurids was short-lived and occurred in only a 15 million year span in the Late Cretaceous Period before their extinction about 65 million years ago. The first recognized fossil remains of Tyrannosaurus were discovered in Colorado, U.S.A. in the 1890s; one of the first partial skeletons came from the Hell Creek Formation in 1902.
