Provenance:
Recovered on private land, Hell Creek Formation, Carter County, Montana.

A large, well-preserved maxillary tooth of an adult Tyrannosaurus rex with a beautiful mottled brown and black enamel, intact serrations and a rounded tip, typical of adult T. rex teeth. 

Tyrannosaurus rex, the king of the dinosaurs, or literally, the "tyrant lizard king", did not usurp its nickname. This most famous dinosaur reached heights of 40 feet (12.20 meters) and could weigh up to 7 tons. Its jaw was of spectacular strength. It had, in fact, the strongest bite of any terrestrial animal, with 60 saw-edged teeth capable of cutting through the flesh and bones of any prey. The first T. rex skeleton was discovered in 1902 in the Hell Creek Formation, Montana, where this extraordinary fossilized tooth also originates.
