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 excellent with minor feeding wear and a single fracture repair only. Enamel is beautiful and naturally lustrous in a warm golden light orange tone with excellent grain. Nice visible serrations can be seen.
An identical shape tooth to other dinosaurs of the same clade despite the head never being found of this species.
A recommended example from this "dromaeosaur-on-steroids" the size of a juvenile T. rex.
