1.32" Fossil Hadrosaur (Duck-Billed Dinosaur) Tooth - Montana
This is a 1.32" long tooth from an unidentified hadrosaur, collected from the Late Cretaceous-aged Two Medicine Formation of Montana. There is some minor feeding wear to the tip of this tooth, indicating it was likely a part of the hadrosaur's tooth battery when it died.
There are several large hadrosaurs known from this formation including Lambeosaurus, Brachylophosaurus, and Kritosaurus which it could possibly be. A lack of diagnostic markers makes it impossible to determine an exact species.

Comes with a floating frame display case.
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.
About The Two Medicine Formation
The Two Medicine Formation is a geographical formation in Central Montana and Southern Alberta, Canada. The formation is predominantly sandstone laid down by rivers and deltas during the Campanian Age of the Cretaceous, about 80-75 million years ago. Approximately two thousand feet thick on the western edge, it lies on top of the Virgelle Sandstone formation and under the Bearpaw Shale. It is located between the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains and the Sweetgrass Arch, a tectonic fold feature 40-90 miles east of the Front Range.
The Two Medicine is the same age as the Judith River Formation found further east. It was laid down further inland from the Western Interior Seaway, while the Judith River Formation was deposited along the coast. The Two Medicine contains much of the same dinosaur fauna, but fewer reptiles, amphibians, and aquatic fossils.
