This Is a Beautiful tooth from Richardoestesia, a rare small carnivorous dinosaur from the Hell Creek Formation in Carter County, Montana, USA! Richardoestesia is a very mysterious dinosaur. Known as a "tooth taxon" the only remains of this species found in Hell Creek are teeth, leaving a lot of speculation as to the nature of this animal. The teeth tend to be small but long and sharp, indicating it was a small carnivorous dinosaur. It is believed to be about the size of a large dog. Although often referred to as a raptor, it isn't believed to be a true raptor. The tooth is in fantastic condition with incredible serrations, a great tip, a partial root, and zero repair or restoration! It measures .217 inches (5.51 mm)! It comes in a 1 inch gem jar for easy transport and display!
A great opportunity to own a piece of a truly mysterious dinosaur!
