Very Nice Rooted Edmontosaurus Tooth
This is a very nice example of a tooth from the "Duck Billed" dinosaur Edmontosaurus annectens. Hadrosaurs had a mouthful of small blocky teeth which they used to grind the tough plant material that they ate. The tooth is unworn, has excellent preservation and unlike most teeth that are found the root is present.
Hadrosaurs
are frequently referred to as duck-billed dinosaurs and are members of the Ornithischian family Hadrosauridae. They were fairly common herbivores that roamed Asia, Europe, and North America during the Upper Cretaceous Period. Many species of Hadrosaurs had distinctive crests on their heads, some of which had air-filled chambers that may have produced a distinct sound. These crests may have been used for both audio and visual display purposes.
