Small but attractive tooth of Albertosaurus sarcophagus.

Formation: Cretaceous, Campanian

The Albertosaurus was a close relative of the T. rex, so not a direct ancestor, but part of
the same family: Tyrannosauridae.
It was slightly smaller: about 8–9 metres long, weighing two tonnes, but faster and more
lightly built. Like its "famous" cousin it also posessed two-fingered forelimbs and the
typical large skull with powerful teeth.

Much coveted unique specimen: juvenile tooth of a Tyrannosaurus, guaranteed genuine fossil!Very well preserved, extremely rare piece!The denture of Tyrannosaurus rex is one of the most striking features of that dinosaur and plays an important role in its life as an apex predator of the late Cretaceous period. With a length of up to 30 centimeters, Tyrannosaurus rex's teeth were not only exceptionally large, but also strong and sharp, ideal for ripping flesh. Inside the jaws were up to 60 teeth, which were replaced in the course of the animal's life. This was important as they were worn down by constant use. This tooth is a juvenile tooth, which means that it was not yet fully developed.It comes in the box shown, including the label.Age: Hell Creek formation, Maastrichtian, Upper Cretaceous;Locality: Wyoming, USASize: approx. 1 x 0,7 x 0,3 cmColors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.
