AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
LEPTOCERATOPS GRACILIS – FOSSIL TOOTH
For sale: an authentic fossil tooth, attributed to Leptoceratops gracilis, a small hornless ceratopsian from the Late Cretaceous of North America.
Leptoceratops gracilis was a relatively small, hornless ceratopsian that lived about 66–69 million years ago. It inhabited the area that is today known as the western United States and lived in the same ecosystems as famous dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex and Triceratops.
SPECIMEN INFORMATION
• Species: Leptoceratops gracilis
• Type: Fossil tooth
• Formation: Lance Formation
• Locality: Niobrara County, Wyoming, USA
• Period: Late Cretaceous
• Age: Approximately 66–69 million years
The specimen is a small fossil tooth with a striking dark mineralization and well-visible surface structure. Due to its compact size, it is an interesting and easy-to-display fossil for collectors.
Leptoceratops belonged to the Ceratopsia, the group that also includes the famous Triceratops. Unlike the large horned ceratopsians, Leptoceratops was a much smaller and more primitive representative of this group.
The Lance Formation of Wyoming is one of the major fossil-bearing formations from the very late part of the Cretaceous. The formation has yielded a wide diversity of dinosaurs and offers a fascinating insight into the ecosystems that existed just before the mass extinction at the end of the Cretaceous.
A BEAUTIFUL SPECIMEN FOR COLLECTORS
Fossil teeth of small ornithischian dinosaurs are interesting additions to a dinosaur collection, especially because of their smaller size and the diversity of species they can represent.
This specimen would fit nicely in a collection focused on ceratopsians, ornithischians, Wyoming dinosaurs, or Late Cretaceous fossils.
INFORMATION CARD INCLUDED
The fossil is delivered in a protective box and with a professional information card, as visible in the photos. It lists the scientific name, fossil type, geological period, formation, and locality.
A beautiful piece of natural history from the Late Cretaceous of Wyoming, USA.
Locality: Niobrara County, Wyoming, USA
Formation: Lance Formation
Period: Late Cretaceous
Taxonomic identification: Leptoceratops gracilis
