1" Oligocene Benedenit$ found this scarce little beauty today. They don't get much bigger than this, though, so I guess little isn't the correct choice of words there. This tooth is in flawless condition - perfect root, blade, cusps, and tip.

| A signature feature of bededeni teeth is that they can rest upright on their massive roots. Here is a great illustration. |
