Duckbilled Dinosaur Lower Jaw Section, 10 Inches Long. Dinosaur teeth are rare, but a partial lower jaw section with more than 35 teeth can usually only be seen in a museum. This 10-inch jaw segment is from the famous duckbilled dinosaur, Edmontosaurus. It was extracted from the 70 million year old Oldman Formation in the Red Deer River Valley of Alberta, Canada. The jaw is a rich dark brown color. The teeth, which measure up to 1 inch, are an even darker brown. Unlike mammals, dinosaurs continually replaced their teeth throughout their lives. Smaller teeth can be seen growing beneath the larger surface teeth. Jaws with teeth are rarely available because they are needed to assemble more complete displays by museums. This specimen is an outstanding display and study fossil. Weight is 4 pounds.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500.
