Triceratops Tooth

Triceratops was one of the most iconic dinosaurs of all time, known for its distinctive horns and frilled skull. Lesser known about the animal is its eating ability, possessing batteries of teeth numbering near a thousand. However, because of how efficiently Triceratops processed its food, it rarely stopped to spit out a tooth it had shed and replaced, resulting in most Triceratops teeth being chewed up and broken. This tooth however is in immaculate, near perfect condition with near zero restoration. The black crown and chocolate colored root is thanks to the beautiful preservation of the Hell Creek Formation in Montana, USA. A beautiful piece of an iconic animal that comes on a custom hardwood mount. Triceratops was a large herbivorous dinosaur that lived in North America in the Late Cretaceous period, about 67 million years ago. Famous for its horned face, the two horns above the eyes could get over 4 feet long, and the horn over it’s nose over a foot long. Triceratops was extremely heavily built, weighing 9 tons. This put it at equal weight with its only predator, Tyrannosaurus, despite being half as tall. It used batteries of shearing teeth and a sharp beak to eat plants in it’s environment.

Tooth is around 2" long, and about 3" high on mount. Base dimensions are roughly 2" x 2".
