Rare Neovenator Tooth | UK Dinosaur | Isle of Wight

A rare Neovenator tooth from the Wessex Formation of the Isle of Wight. Neovenator was a fast, two-legged predator with a lightweight build and long legs for chasing prey. This tooth has some nice glossy enamel, serrations and natural feeding wear to the tip and mesial edge.

The geological formation where this tooth was found, the Wessex Formation, is an Early Cretaceous geological unit of mudstones, sandstones, and plant debris beds, formed in a subtropical floodplain with rivers and lagoons. It yields diverse fossils, including iguanodontids like Iguanodon and Mantellisaurus, theropods like Neovenator, and sauropods like Ornithopsis, plus crocodiles, fish, and pollen. Its significance lies in its rich dinosaur record, offering a snapshot of a vibrant, herbivore-dominated ecosystem in prehistoric Europe.    

The tooth comes stored in a display box featuring the specimen name, region it was found and age (fossil can be removed from the box).

This is genuine fossil. All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.
