Batrachotomus tooth

This tooth from the predatory dinosaur Batrachotomus comes from the Upper Triassic (Keuper) region of 
Vellberg-Eschenau in Germany.
 
This fossil is approximately 240 million years old.

Batrachotomus, a carnivore reptile that grew up to six meters long, was at the top of the food chain of 
its time. Its diet included the largest predatory amphibians, such as Mastodonsaurus. 
But it was also cannibalistic, as scientists discovered from bite marks on fossil bones.

The fossil of the so-called "Lurch-Schlaechter" (amphibian slaughterer) is remarkably well preserved and 
beautifully displays the typical serrations on both sides.

The tooth measures approximately 2.5 cm. The stone is original and unbroken, measuring 4.5 x 2.5 x 1 cm.

A rarity from a strictly protected German site. The fossil comes from an old collection.

High-quality museum piece without any manipulations!

Extremely rare top-of-the-line exhibit - don't miss it!
