Thescelosaurus Tooth – 0.27" – Hell Creek Formation, Montana
This is an authentic tooth from Thescelosaurus, a small bipedal ornithischian dinosaur that inhabited the floodplains and forests of Late Cretaceous North America approximately 68–66 million years ago. Thescelosaurus was one of the last non-avian dinosaurs to exist before the K-Pg mass extinction, sharing its environment with iconic species like Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops in the Hell Creek ecosystem.
This specimen measures 0.27 inches and has received no repairs or restoration, preserving its complete fossil integrity. Thescelosaurus teeth are notably uncommon compared to the larger dinosaurs of the Hell Creek Formation — this small herbivore's delicate dental elements are far less frequently preserved and recovered than the robust teeth of ceratopsians or tyrannosaurs, making authenticated specimens particularly desirable for serious collectors.
