Triceratops horridus Tooth with Double Root
70 Million Years BP
Late Cretaceous
Maastrichtian
Hell Creek
Butte County, Montana
This tooth is a rare find. Although Triceratops sp. teeth are common, it is rare to find even partial roots or complete crowns. This specimen demonstrates the double-root system of some ceratopsian teeth. In the jaw of the dinosaur, a replacement tooth would have been nestled in between the two roots, waiting to push out the tooth above when it had worn out.
