Lot 1010
T-Rex Pre-Maxilary Tooth. Almost all T-Rex teeth found were broken off when the T-Rex was feeding on some other dinosaur and are found fragments in many pieces. But this large 1.9 inch Pre-Maxilary tooth is the exception being intact with some cracks and some serrations but no restoration. ¾" sections of enamel are missing from both the top and bottom of the tooth but is not visible from the side. This light brown tooth is from an adult T-Rex as the pre-maxilary teeth are smaller than the teeth further back in the jaw and were used to strip meat from the bone. They are very distinctive in having two rows of serrations close together on the inner curve of the tooth. This 65 million year old treasure was found on a private ranch in the Hell Creek Formation of Montana and is displayed in a 5½ x 4½" Riker Mount. $1,000 - 1,250
