  • These fossilized enamel and dentine fragments make up the crown of a tyrannosaurus rex tooth. This was discovered in the Hell Creek Formation of North Dakota. The condition of this specimen displays how quickly fossil can erode once exposed to the elements.

    That's quite a challenge. It reminds me of a shattered raptor tooth I sent to Dale Russel in North Carolina. Being a rather small tooth, it was required to be assembled under a magnifying lens and a microscope. Fortunately, no fragments were missing, and once together, you couldn't tell that it was repaired.

      Honestly Tyrannosaurus teeth actually aren't that rare surprisingly. Only the large teeth are rare.
      Small teeth and Juvenile teeth however are quite common. I've seen quite a few Juvenile teeth or two or so inches on eBay for decent prices.
      I'm hoping to buy an unprepared specimen soon.

    Are you going to fill in the gaps with epoxy putty?

    • @DeepTimePaleo
      @DeepTimePaleo  Рік тому

      Yes and it will most likely be a darker grey epoxy. We won’t do a full restoration because those do not convey the missing elements of the fossil.
