T-Rex Tooth in Matrix, All fossils from a T-Rex are rare and in tremendous demand. Large teeth are the most desired of T-Rex fossils. This 66 million year old 2.75 inch tooth was found on a private ranch in the late Cretacious rocks of Drumheller, Alberta. The tooth was professionally prepared and left in a small 2.5 x 1.5 inch stone matrix. for a dramatic display. The 2.75 inch tooth has a lovely chocolate brown color enamel with some cracks filled, serrations on the bottom side, some natural tooth wear that occurred when the T-Rex was alive and some minor chips on the tip. Virtually all large T-Rex teeth have cracks in the enamel that have to be stabilized. With large T-Rex teeth selling for more than $1500 per inch, this less than perfect large shed tooth should be an excellent inexpensive alternative to acquire an impressive T-Rex tooth with good enamel. The tooth comes with a 2 inch high illusion stand for display.
