T-REX TOOTH HUGE 3.25 INCHES. This 3.25 inch long T-Rex tooth is not only large but also pristine with an excellent tip, serrations and no repair. Only a few cracks have been filled as is usual for all T-Rex teeth found. The tooth is rather thick, has sharp squared serrations which define it as a T-Rex, and even shows a slight 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. 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. This impressive and rare tooth was found in an ancient river or lake bed on a private ranch in the 65-67 million year old Hell Creek Formation of Montana. All T-Rex teeth are in great demand, but those very few that are not broken and repaired with pristine tips are rarely encountered.

Add $20 for domestic shipping.
Estimated Value $4,500 - 5,500.
