.46" Fossil Raptor (Paronychodon?) Tooth - Montana
This is a .46" long raptor tooth from the Hell Creek Formation in Eastern Montana. It has characteristics of the species cf Paronychodon lacustris which include prominent vertical ridges on both sides of the tooth, however there are tiny serrations along the distal edge, so the identification is uncertain. Though this genus has not be formally described from the Hell Creek Formation, isolated teeth and bone material believed to be from it have been recovered.
The tooth has been left on a small piece of rock that it was found in. Under magnification, small serrations can be seen along the distal edge. Comes in an acrylic 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.
