Lot 662
Two T-Rex Teeth. These two T-rex teeth were found very close to each other in an ancient river or lake bed on a private ranch in the 65-67 million year old Hell Creek Formation of Montana. The larger 2.75 inch long T-rex tooth is not only large but also pristine with an excellent tip with just a very small amount of natural feeding wear and sharp serrations with no repair. Most T-rex teeth found have feeding wear on their tips which occurred when the T-Rex was still alive. The enamel has a few cracks in it as found and is a lovely tan to brown color. The tooth is rather thick, has sharp squared serrations which define it as a T-Rex, and even shows a very defined indentation at the root level on one side which is from a replacement tooth that was already growing behind this tooth when it was broken off when the T-Rex was feeding. The second 1.5 inch completely intact tooth has sharp serrations and has a matching color and exactly fits into the tooth indentation of the larger tooth. All T-Rex teeth are shed teeth except the very few that are found with the dozen or so partial skeletons that have been found. All T-Rex teeth are in great demand, but those very few that are not broken and repaired are rarely encountered. Both of these T-rex teeth are housed together in a 8 x 6 inch Riker mount.
