T-Rex Tooth (with optional base)

thingiverse

The original version (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4150081) did not include a version without the base, so here you go! It was also not in STL format. This is a high-res model, thus the STL files have been zipped. What else can I say... here are some fun facts about t-rex teeth: Dinosaurs grew new teeth. Scientists have found that dinosaurs grew replacement teeth, an approach that’s much more “quantity over quality” than how human teeth are. Some dinosaurs did not have teeth. “Dino Don” Lassem, author of The Ultimate Dinopedia, explains that there were also toothless dinosaurs. The orthomimids (literally Greek for “bird mimics”) are believed to have fed on vegetation, insects, small lizards, and small mammals, using their gums to grind their food into digestible bits. Tyrannosaurus Rex teeth were the longest. The longest dinosaur tooth ever recorded belonged to a T. Rex, and they were a whopping 12 inches long! This measurement includes the tooth’s root though, so the exposed part of the tooth was 6 inches long. The T. Rex was not above eating its own kind. Tyrannosaurus Rex bones have been found with T. Rex tooth gouges, suggesting it may have been a cannibal. Source: https://www.toothologydental.com/dinosaur-teeth-fun-facts/
