Description
This listing features an authentic fossilised tooth from Edmontosaurus, a large genus of hadrosaurid (duck-billed) dinosaurs that roamed what is now North America during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 70–66 million years ago. This specimen was discovered in the Lance Creek Formation of Eastern Wyoming, USA, a site renowned for its rich deposits of Late Cretaceous vertebrate fossils.
Edmontosaurus (meaning “lizard from Edmonton”) was a remarkable herbivorous dinosaur, known for its broad, flattened beak similar to that of a duck. It belonged to the group Saurolophinae, hadrosaurids without large hollow crests. Instead, Edmontosaurus may have had a small solid crest or even a fleshy display structure on its head.
These dinosaurs were some of the largest ornithopods, with adults measuring up to 12 metres (39 feet) long and weighing as much as 4 metric tonnes, with the largest specimens possibly reaching 15 metres (49 feet) and weighing over 9 metric tonnes. Remarkably, several fossil specimens have preserved not just bone, but also skin impressions, making Edmontosaurus one of the most well-understood dinosaurs of its kind.
This genuine dinosaur tooth fossil is a rare and exciting glimpse into the life of these gentle herbivores. The tooth was part of a complex dental battery, allowing Edmontosaurus to grind down fibrous plant material efficiently. The teeth were continually replaced throughout their lifetime, meaning shed teeth like this one are sometimes found fossilised.
Whether you’re a dinosaur enthusiast, fossil collector, or simply seeking a unique gift, this specimen offers an educational and impressive piece of natural history from the age of dinosaurs.
