Large Edmontosaurus (Duck-Billed Dinosaur) Tooth

This is a large, partially rooted tooth of Edmontosaurus annectens, a Hadrosaur, or what commonly gets referred to as a Duck-Billed Dinosaur. Unlike the vast majority of Edmontosaurus teeth, this is not a shed tooth and as has most of the root and little feeding wear.

This tooth comes from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana and comes in an acrylic 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.
