Authentic Corythosaurus Tooth
Fossil material from Corythosaurus is fairly rare.
This tooth measures 3/4″ high and the membrane case included.
Corythosaurus is a “duck-billed” dinosaur, better known as a hadrosaur. It had a very unusual crest upon its head. So the name Corythosaurus is quite fitting, since it means “helmet lizard”. By examining the teeth, paleontologists know that this dinosaur was a herbivore, a plant-eater. Corythosaurus was about 30 feet long and its skull was about 2-1/2 feet tall, including its crest. The skull with is distinctive crest resembles that of the modern day cassowary, which is a flightless bird.
