Edmontosaurus Tooth

Edmontosaurus was a large herbivorous dinosaur from the Cretaceous Period. A member of the hadrosaur family, they are known for their "duck-bills," which are in fact elongated rostral bone structures with the appearance of a beak. These "beaks" actually housed hundreds of small teeth that allowed these giant herbivores to grind through all manner of plant material, including rotten wood.

This specimen is a fossilized tooth from an Edmontosaurus, recovered on private land from the Hell Creek Formation. The specimen comes inside a classic, glass-topped riker display case measuring 4 1/2" x 3 1/2". A small information card with the Mini Museum statement of authenticity is also enclosed.

Each tooth is a unique fossil and measures between 0.25" to 0.5" in size. No two will be exactly alike.
