Edmontosaurus Tooth

A Hadrosaur (Edmontosaurus) tooth from the Hell Creek Formation in Carter County, Montana.  This a 'spit tooth', a tooth worn down through feeding on tough vegitation and shed while the animal was alive.

Edmontosaurus had hundreds of teeth arranged into groups called batteries. Over time, their teeth would chisel down as the animal fed, eventually being ejected by the animal to make way for a fresh tooth waiting below in the jawline. This is an example of one of those small worn teeth, shed by the animal.

The formation where this tooth was found, the Hell Creek Formation, was laid down by ancient floodplains in the Late Cretaceous and preserves fossils of Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus, as well as many other well known dinosaurs. Its top, the K-Pg boundary, marks the asteroid impact that ended the dinosaurs.
