1.3" Cretaceous Crocodilian Jaw Section w/ Tooth - South Dakota
This is a fossil crocodilian jaw section collected from the Upper Cretaceous Hell Creek Formation of South Dakota. The fossil measures 1.3" long and is nicely preserved with an intact tooth still within the jaw.
There are a number of crocodilian and alligatoroid genera described from this formation with very similar teeth. This specific tooth is believed to be from Borealosuchus sternbergii, a genus that has been previously allocated within Leidyosuchus. Much like many other classifications, this assignment is in a constant state of flux.
Comes with a riker mount display case.

The Hell Creek Formation
Renowned for both its age and rich sedimentary layers, the Hell Creek Formation is one of the most intensively studied fossil-bearing regions on Earth. To date, scientists have documented 158 genera of animals and 64 genera of plants from its rocks, with new finds emerging regularly. Beyond iconic dinosaurs such as tyrannosaurs, ceratopsians, and hadrosaurs, the formation has produced an extraordinary array of life, including amphibians, reptiles, lizards, snakes, turtles, fish, sharks, birds, and early mammals. Together, these fossils provide the most complete picture of the ecosystems that thrived just before the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event.
