Alphadon Mammal Tooth (Hell Creek Fm.) #02

Description

An Alphadon mammal tooth from the Hell Creek Formation of Montana.  Alaphadon lived at the end of the Cretaceous period and shared its habitat with dinosaurs such as T. rex and Triceratops.  This was still a time when dinosaurs dominated the planet, tiny mammals such as Alaphadon living in their shadow.  Alphadon was a member of the metatharians, a group of mammals that includes modern day marsupials.

Please note, this is a micro-fossil and the tooth is exceptionally small (the pictures were taken with a macrolense and are magnified).  Comes labelled and stored in a gem jar.

Condition: Good

Size: 2mm
