.44 Inch Hadrosaur Tooth - Little Wear
Here is an average size tooth from the Edmontosaurus annectens a Hadrosaur. Hadrosaurs had a mouthful of small blocky teeth which they used to grind the vegetation which they ate. As their teeth wore down during their lifetime they "shed" the old tooth and a new tooth took it's place. This tooth appears only partially worn and is likely not a shed tooth.
The tooth was collected from a private ranch in Carter County, Montana.

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.
