Collected from the famous Hell Creek Formation of Northwestern U.S.A., this is a fossil dinosaur tooth from one of the most famous dinosaurs of all time, the duck-billed dinosaurs called HADROSAURS. This tooth is from Edmontosaurus annectens, the predominant hadrosaur species that lived alongside Tyrannosaurus rex and swift moving packs of dromaeosaur "raptor" dinosaurs, in the Cretaceous Period.
This tooth features excellent preservation, is natural as found, and shows an unworn crown. The back side of the tooth where it was embedded in the jaw shows abnormal deformity, possibly by infection caused by a wound, or a genetic defect. Out of 23 years of selling these teeth, we cannot recall the last time we have come across one that was deformed, making this a special tooth for collectors.
Hadrosaurs were the predominant food source of the predators of Hell Creek. They were herbivores and lived in herds like modern day cattle. Hell Creek is known as "the Valley of the T. rex!". The "duck-billed" Hadrosaurs and the "horned" dinosaurs like Triceratops, were common prey for many large meat-eating dinosaurs of the famed region.
