Alligator-like creatures lived right alongside some of the most dangerous dinosaurs of the Cretaceous Hell Creek region, such as T. rex and "raptor" dromaeosaur dinosaurs. This is a fossil tooth of such a reptile called Brachychampsa montana. Brachychampsa was an alligator-like creature that lived during the final days of the dinosaurs in what is now the Hell Creek deposit. This fascinating and impressive specimen has the finest preservation with a partial original root still attached. The rich dark brown colors are typical for this formation. The crown is complete with characteristic wrinkled enamel.
Teeth from these extinct reptiles are uncommon and indicate a swampy, wet environment once existed where they were collected from. Fossils of creatures like this that are much lesser known, make for interesting compliments to dinosaur fossil collections and exhibits of the same period and formation. Such specimens help to illustrate the diversity of fauna and type of world that once was the Late Cretaceous of Hell Creek.
For its astonishing array of dangerous and large prehistoric predator fossils, no place has captured more attention or has been featured more in the news than Hell Creek! Fine grade fossils from this formation are amongst the most sought after specimens for collectors around the world. Most of the dinosaurs we grew up learning about as kids, come from Hell Creek.
