1.55" Partially Rooted Ceratopsid (Chasmosaurus) Tooth - Montana

This is a beautifully preserved, fossil Ceratopsid tooth of the genus Chasmosaurus, found in the Judith River Formation of Montana. The tooth is 1.1" long (including the partial root section) and nicely preserved within a small section of rock. The tooth has no crack repairs, no restoration and only a small amount of feeding wear to the tip. The tooth is associated with small sections of dinosaur bone, most likely from the Chasmosaur that the tooth came from.


Ceratopsians are a group of plant-eating dinosaurs from the Cretaceous characterized by a bony frill on the back of the skull and a unique upper beak bone, called a rostral. Ceratopsians ranged in size from 1 meter (3 ft) and 23 kilograms (50 lb) to over 9 meters (30 ft) and 9,100 kg (20,100 lb). Triceratops is by far the best-known ceratopsian to the general public.
