Collected from the famous Hell Creek Formation of Northwestern U.S.A., this is a fine quality Triceratops tooth. Unlike most teeth usually found which are "spit teeth" or ones that were ejected from the dinosaur's mouth when alive, this one has not been fully worn and still shows much of the crown with keel. No fossil tooth collection should be without at least one nice complete crown example tooth of one of the "household name" dinosaurs of America's Late Cretaceous. NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION.
Triceratops is the most famous of the great horned dinosaurs. This plant-eating group has been found in the fossil record in greater abundance than all the other varieties. A full grown Triceratops is estimated to have weighed 11 tons, heavier than a modern African bull elephant. Its skull was 6.5 feet long with a pair of brow horns that exceeded 3 feet in length.
