3.1" Rooted, Allosaurus Tooth With Associated Tooth & Bone

Rooted, Allosaurus Tooth With Associated Tooth & Bone #152219

This is a very unique piece, featuring a 3.1" long, rooted Allosaurus tooth associated with a second, 1.2" long unrooted tooth and a section of bone. It was beautifully prepared to create an aesthetic display. While there quite a few repaired cracks in the tooth, there is only some minor gap fill restoration.

Allosaurus was a genus of carnosaurian theropod that lived from 156 to 145 million years ago during the Late Jurassic. Allosaurus species were predators with massive skulls, serrated teeth, and gaping jaws. This powerful and plentiful carnivore genus could grow more than 30 feet long. Their fossils are abundant in the Morrison Formation, leading some to suggest that Allosaurus species may have been pack hunters.
