This listing is for a fine Richardoestesia dinosaur tooth personally found while on a fossil hunting trip with Paleo Prospectors in the Hell Creek Formation of Harding County, SD.

The tooth measures 0.38\" in length and has great black colored enamel and crisp tiny serrations which is one of the features these teeth are known for.

No one knows exactly what the animal looked like that this tooth belonged to due to lack of more complete specimens in the fossil record. However, most widely accepted is that this is a small theropod dinosaur but some have even speculated that it could be a from a toothed Pterosaur.

Zero repair or restoration and comes with its own gem display case, a really great addition to any advanced dinosaur fossil collection.

The tooth can come with its own COA upon request.

The Hell Creek Formation dates back to the Late Cretaceous approximately 66-68 million years in age. It represent the coastline of an ancient sea that spanned across the middle of North American during much of the Mesozoic Era. That is why dinosaur remains are so common in the American West, those areas were the ancient floodplains of a seaway that no longer exists. Dinosaur like the famous Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops and Pachycephalosaurus were part of this amazing ecosystem. Other dinosaur such as Edmontosaurus, Thescelosaurus, Struthiomimus and Oviraptorids existed here as well. And of course there were the Dromaeosaurs \"Raptors) that inhabited this area and preyed upon these species such as Acheropraptor and Dakotaraptor.
