Description: Hi all! This Is a tooth from Nanotyrannus lancensis from the Hell Creek Formation in Powder River County, Montana, USA! The tooth has a good tip, great serrations, and a partial root! It has one repaired break, but isn't restored in anyway! The dimensions measure .867 inches (2.2 cm) slant length and .42 x .178 inches (1.06 x .45 cm) at its base! It comes in a 1 inch gem jar for easy transport and display! Nanotyrannus is a truly fascinating story both evolutionarily and historically. Found alongside its much larger cousin, the infamous T-rex, paleontologist have long debated whether Nanotyrannus is a distinct species or just juvenile T-rexes. This fierce debate continues today, with many paleontologist subscribing to either side. If Nanotyrannus is a valid species, it represents a strange turn in Tyrannosaur evolution. During the last 15 million years of the Cretaceous period, the Tyrannosaurs of North America were getting progressively larger, a process which culminated in T-rex. Nanotyrannus however lived, alongside T-rex and yet was much smaller (about 16 feet long) than the proceeding Tyrannosaurs which it itself evolved from! A great piece from a fascinating North American dinosaur at the center of one of the greatest debates in the history of paleontology! All of my items come with a Certificate of Authenticity!
