-Andy- Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 T-Rex (CGtalk) by Aleksander Popov Few feelings can describe the awe of holding a Tyrannosaurus Rex tooth in your hand, knowing this was the killing weapon of one of the mightiest predators ever to walk the Earth. Of course, like many of you, it has always been my dream to own a large T-Rex tooth. After years, I've finally managed to obtain one from an adult. The looks of wonder on the children's faces when I unveil this tooth just make you appreciate just how important dinosaurs are to the imagination of kids and adults alike. There is no finer fossil in my collection, nor any I love as much (nor any as expensive, but that's to be expected haha). This tooth measures 3 3/4 inches on the leading curve, and 1 3/8 inches in width. There is minor crack filling, but no other restoration. This has been authenticated by the University of Maryland, and the pictures have been shown to accredited experts like Tom Kapitany, Vanessa Weaver and George Corneille. All agree, this is the real deal. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. ______________________________________________________ Tyrannosaurus Rex mandible tooth Hell Creek Formation Garfield County, Montana, United States of America Late Cretaceous period - 66.8 - 66.0 million years old ______________________________________________________ 1 Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors!
