Brachiosaurus — Tooth
A single spoon shaped for the treetops.
A cast of one broad, chisel-tipped tooth, its spatulate crown and gentle wear facet recording a lifetime of raking leaves from high branches. Held in the palm, it distils the scale of a thirty-tonne browser into a single quiet object, an invitation to consider the whole animal through one of its smallest working parts.
Hand-finished to preserve the enamel sheen and the worn edge, it sits as comfortably on a desk as on a plinth.
Brachiosaurus teeth were robust and spoon-shaped, built to strip foliage rather than to slice or grind.
Like other sauropods, it swallowed plant matter whole and replaced its teeth continuously as they wore down.
The genus was named in 1903 by Elmer Riggs, who described the forelimb proportions behind its name, meaning arm lizard.
