CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT DELTADROMEUS
This is an uncommon tooth from the front of the jaws of a Deltadromeus agilis dinosaur. Unlike teeth from the lateral jaw position where the body is more laterally compressed, the anterior teeth are rounder in cross section thereby making them stronger to withstand the snatching and initial striking bites of the prey by the dinosaur. Preservation on this tooth is good with minor feeding wear but amazingly, no breakage! Enamel is beautiful and naturally lustrous in a warm golden light orange tone with excellent grain. This unbroken and sharp specimen is a rare and recommended example from this "dromaeosaur-on-steroids" the size of a juvenile T. rex. Nice visible serrations can be seen. NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION - highly recommended!
