Lot 1458
2.6 Inch Pre-Maxilary T-Rex Tooth. Virtually all T-Rex teeth found are shed teeth that broke off while the T-Rex was feeding on another dinosaur. Usually these teeth are just fragments or are broken into many pieces, but this extremely large 2.6 inch Pre-Maxilary tooth is the exception. Only the tip was found separated from the rest of the tooth and put back into place, otherwise there is no restoration. There is some wear to the enamel at the tip that occurred while the T-Rex was still alive and there are some light cracks in the enamel that are always present. Pre-Maxilary teeth were found at the front of the jaw and were larger as they were used to strip meat from the bone. They are very distinctive in having two rows of serrations on the opposite sides of the regular teeth. This 65 million year old treasure was found on a private ranch in the Hell Creek Formation of Montana and is displayed in a 5.5 x 4.5 inch Riker mount.
