Alligator Tooth

Alligator Tooth

4 total reviews

    Alligators, along with other crocodilians, were among the few reptiles to survive the mass extinction that killed nearly all dinosaurs and marine life 65 million years ago. In fact, crocodilians and birds are the sole survivors of a much larger and more diverse group called the archosaurs.

    There is debate over exactly when alligators evolved from crocodiles, but fossils show that both of these families have gone virtually unchanged since the Late Cretaceous.

    One way you can tell alligators from crocodiles is by their teeth. An alligator’s lower teeth fit into sockets in the upper jaw and remain completely hidden when their mouth is closed. A crocodile’s lower teeth are exposed on the outside of the upper jaw when their mouth is closed.

     

     

    These teeth were legally purchased from a licensed alligator farm.

    Each tooth is <1".

    This listing is for one tooth. Photos are representative of the tooth you may receive. Larger specimens will be prioritized first.

      I would this 5 stars

      I have a 5 yr old grandson that loves the reptile family. When he received his tooth. He carries it everywhere even to school. He also sleep with it under his pillow, so i put a dollar under his pillow every night and he love it. He is autistic and non verbal so the excitement he displays everyday is priceless. Thank you!

      Perfect Gift for the Aspiring Zoologist

      My 8 year old nephew loved them! I liked that the alligator teeth came in little specimen containers like Petri dishes.

      WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY

      You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.

      We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.

      With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.

      Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.
