Bargain, 1.38" Allosaurus Tooth - Interesting Feeding Wear

Bargain, Allosaurus Tooth - Interesting Feeding Wear #91751

This is a 1.38" long Allosaurus tooth collected from our partners quarry near Dinosaur Colorado. There is significant feeding wear to the tooth and several crack repairs. The on the base of the tooth is due to a chemical reaction of the glue that was used to stabilize it with a mineral that was in the rock.

Comes with a floating frame display case.

This tooth comes from what is called the "Salt & Pepper Layer" of the Skull Creek Quarry, near Dinosaur. Colorado. Within the past several years this quarry has produced articulated remains of several types of dinosaurs, including large theropods, sauropods and Ornithischia. A thin layer in the quarry, probably representing a sandy river bottom, produces many isolated teeth and tumbled bone fragments. The quarry is also the location of the recently announced "Elvis" Torvosaurus find.
