.82" Fossil Rooted Crocodile Tooth - South Dakota
This is a .82" rooted crocodile tooth from the Hell Creek Formation of Harding County, South Dakota. It is in very good condition.
Rooted teeth are fairly rare as that means they were lost from the skull after the animal died, not shed during its lifetime.

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.
