Iguanodon Tooth #2 – Museum-Quality Replica
Description:
This is a museum-quality replica of a lower tooth from Iguanodon bernissartensis, one of the first dinosaurs ever discovered. The original fossil, dating back to the Early Cretaceous, was found in the Wealden Beds of Sussex, UK, and collected by Gideon Mantell in the 1820s.
This high-quality cast is made directly from the actual fossil and even replicates its texture and detail—including natural wear on the crown and part of the root. It’s an exact reproduction, ideal for educational displays, fossil collections, or dinosaur enthusiasts.
Features:
Cast directly from the original fossil
Displays the crown with natural wear and partial root
Made of durable, lifelike resin
Measures: Tooth – 40mm x 22mm, Matrix – 50mm x 33mm
Color may vary slightly

Iguanodon orientalis
Iguanodon means "Iguana tooth". It is classified as: Ornithopoda; Iguanodontia; Iguanodontidae
Early Cretaceous
Its hands had four fingers and a spike-like thumb, which it may have used to defend itself. Its teeth are reminiscent of those in hypsilophodonts, flattened side to side, and leaf-shaped. They probably sliced up plant material like a pair of scissors.
Because of the large number of skeletons of these dinosaurs frequently found together and evidence from fossil track ways, palaeontologists think they may have formed herds. Their remains are most often found in sediments deposited in swampy, lake and river edge environments suggesting that is the place they spent most of their time munching on horsetails (like the living Equisetum), ferns, cycads and various kinds of conifers.
