Rare Paronychodon Fossil Tooth Raptor Relative from the Hell Creek .39 Inches!

This Is a Beautiful tooth from Paronychodon caperatus, a rare small carnivorous dinosaur from the Hell Creek Formation in Powder River County, Montana, USA! The Paronychodon of Hell Creek are very mysterious dinosaurs. Known as a "tooth taxon" the only remains of this species found in Hell Creek are teeth, leaving a lot of speculation as to the nature of this animal. Although often referred to as a raptor, it isn't known if it was a true raptor, a Troodontid, or a different type of carnivorous dinosaur altogether. The teeth tend to be small but long and sharp, with ridges up and down the tooth and no serrations. It was a small carnivorous dinosaur. It is believed to be about the size of a medium to small sized dog. It measures .392 inches (9.96 mm) with a great tip, a partial root, and no repair or restoration! It comes in a 1 inch gem jar for easy transport and display!
