It comes in a 1.75 inch gem jar for easy transport and display. The most striking feature however, is a strange hole on one side of the tooth. Usually when there is noticeable damage to a tooth it is from wear or weathering but that doesn't seem to be the case for this. It could be any number of things including a bite mark or an infection. I'm honestly not sure what it is, though it is a pretty unique feature!
Even if you're not a paleontologist, or even a scientist, you've almost certainly heard of T-rex. The monster sized carnivore ruled Late Cretaceous North America with a stubby, two fingered iron fist! Growing to over 40 feet (12 meters) in length and over 15 TONS of muscle teeth and claws!! Unlike other carnivorous dinosaurs, T-rex was extraordinarily bulky and muscular. Although there were some carnivorous dinosaurs who exceeded T-rex in length, comparing them to T-Rex is like comparing a NBA player to a bodybuilder on steroids!
This was reflected in its teeth which are much thicker than other carnivorous dinosaur teeth to withstand it's gargantuan bite force, bearing more of a resemblance to serrated spikes than serrated knives. The juveniles were more svelte than the adults, built more for speed than power. It has even been suggested that they would engage in cooperative hunting, the youngsters would use their speed to push potential prey towards the massive jaws of the adults. Like other dinosaurs, T-rex went through multiple sets of teeth in its life time, spitting out an old tooth when a new one was ready to take its place.
