Dinosaur Tooth

 

This is an example of a large meat-eating dinosaur tooth. It is from a dinosaur known as Torvosaurus, a large predator during the Jurassic Period. The teeth were blade-like and serrated for cutting and tearing through the skin and bone of their prey, the large Sauropods and Camptosaurs (both herbivores or plant-eaters). The tooth size and shape varies within the jaw, but most curve back towards the throat. This particular tooth is 4 inches in length. It is believed to be a shed tooth, broken off during a feeding episode as none of the tooth root is present. It was excavated from the Jurassic Morrison Formation at the Dinosaur Safaris Inc. dig site in Wyoming. -- Text and Photo by: Bob Simon


 The name "dinosauria" was choosen by Dr. Richard Owen, an English doctor. Owen first used the word in his "Report on British Fossil Reptiles" presented  to the British Association for the Advancement of Science in 1841. "Dinosaurs" is a combination of two Greek words"deinos (fearfully great)" and "sauros (a lizard)." Thus the name literally means "fearfully great lizard." not terrible lizard.
