This is an absolutely awesome alligator maxilla (upper jaw - skull) with seven teeth!! It is rock solid and very heavily mineralized. This specimen was found at the world famous Leisey Shell Pits by well known collector, Frank Garcia. The teeth were found nearby and were placed back in the jaw with replacement roots. The largest tooth measures 1 9/16" tall!! Awesome specimen that displays incredibly well. Great specimen with incredible provenance.
