Description
Tyrannosaurus Rex Tooth
Tyrannosaurus rex
Late Cretaceous Period (approx. 67 million years ago)
Lance Formation, Niobrara Co., Wyoming
A large and intact tooth showing moderate wear to enamel, serrations, and tip. Minor repair work to the tip. The enamel exhibits a walnut brown patina.
No other animal elicits the same combination of fascination, fear, and reverence quite like that of Tyrannosaurus rex, the “tyrant lizard king.” Dominating the western landscape of Late Cretaceous North America, T. rex’s five-foot-long skull was packed with 60 serrated teeth featuring robust and thickly enameled crowns, delivering a bone-crushing bite force of nearly 13,000 pounds per square inch.
