1.05" Worn Camarasaurus Tooth Crown - Skull Creek Quarry
This
A Camarasaurus skull cast showing how the teeth looked.
is a nicely preserved tooth of the sauropod dinosaur Camarasaurus grandis. Camarasaurus had very distinctive, chisel shaped teeth indicating it probably ate courser vegetation than other sauropods.
The crown is 1.05" with detailed, black enamel preservation. There is extensive feeding wear to the tip of the tooth and it is quite a large specimen. There are no crack repairs or restoration. It comes from the Salt & Pepper Quarry at Skull Creek, near Dinosaur Colorado. This tooth came from a sandy layer in the quarry about a meter below the layers that contain articulated dinosaur remains. This sandy layer contains teeth and tumbled bones fragments but no articulation, most likely representing an event such as a flood.
