Lot 911
Two Different Types of T-Rex Teeth. Virtually all T-Rex teeth found are shed teeth that broke off when the T-Rex was feeding on some other dinosaur. Usually these teeth are just fragments or are broken into many pieces, but this lot consists of two virtually complete shed T-Rex teeth without the root that were found within a few feet of each other in the 66-67 million year old Lance Creek formation of Wyoming. There is no restoration to either tooth. The larger 1.75 inch thick typical jaw tooth has excellent enamel and sharp nearly complete serrations with a perfect intact tip and interesting ripples in the pristine enamel. The other tooth is a 1 inch long Pre-maxilary tooth from the very front of the mouth and has excellent enamel with some wear on the enamel at the tip that occurred when the T-Rex was still alive and some serrations but they are not sharp. The Pre-maxilary teeth are very distinctive in having two rows of serrations close together on the inner curve of the tooth versus having one row of serrations on the opposite sides of the regular teeth. This set of the two different types of T-Rex teeth may be from the same juvenile T-Rex with superb dark brown color and are displayed in a 8X6 inch Riker Mount.
