1.4" Rooted Sauropod Dinosaur (Diplodocus) Tooth in Situ - Colorado

This is a 1.4" long, rooted tooth of the massive sauropod dinosaur, Diplodocus. It was collected from our partners private quarry in the Morrison Formation just outside of Dinosaur, Colorado. Diplodocus teeth are fairly uncommon at the quarry compared to the theropod teeth. This tooth has a repaired crack through it and has been left attached to the rock it was found in, creating a natural display base.
