Authentic fossilized tooth specimen of Coelophysis sp. from the USA, approximately 220 million years old, in a plastic box with a lid and a low-power magnifying glass. Coelophysis was a small carnivorous dinosaur, one of the first theropod dinosaurs to appear on Earth. An authentic dinosaur tooth, an excellent gift for any dinosaur or paleontology enthusiast!
Reptiles have teeth that are replaced many times during their lives (even weekly). This, combined with the durability of the enamel and the long time they lived, means that fossilized teeth of mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs, and dinosaurs are common in various parts of the world.
Due to the age of the specimen and the fragmentary nature of the fossil deposits in the US, as well as local extraction methods, the tooth may have imperfections and repaired areas (bonds) which are perfectly normal and unavoidable, but it is, overall, in good condition. We invite you to carefully study the product photos to identify the natural imperfections and possible repairs of the specimen.
