This fossil Rutiodon tooth is from a little known prehistoric reptile from the Triassic Period.  Rutiodon was a member of the Angistorhininae group of phytosaurs and was a large, stout and powerful reptile of the Triassic.

This is a COMPLETE and intact tooth with a sharp tip.  It is in the FINEST condition and is beautifully preserved.  Enamel is a stunning warm mix of colors and is naturally lustrous.  This specimen is part of a very limited offering and was high-graded as one of the best examples of a group from the original collector.  NO RESTORATION OR REPAIR.  Triassic vertebrate fossils are RARE so this is a definite recommendation for a diversified collector wanting only the best material!
