Triceratops horridus
Age: Cretaceous
Formation: Hell Creek

Size: Tooth with root is 0.9 inches long
This is a very displayable dinosaur tooth. It is an excellent Triceratops horridus tooth in matrix from the Cretaceous of South Dakota. This type of herbiverous dinosaur is a ceratopsian, or ''Horned Dinosaur''. This extremely 3-dimensional tooth exhibits superb detail. The long roots are intact, and the enamel is well displayed. The ''chisel-pointed'' edge of the sculpted tooth is easily seen, and the ''blades'' of the tooth are beautifully preserved. The tooth has excellent color and contrast and is wonderfully perched on the rounded block of natural matrix. And there is absolutely NO RESTORATION whatsoever to this tooth. This is an outstanding specimen of a tooth from this classic horned dinosaur.
A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
