Fossil Iguanodon Tooth, circa 132-137 million years ago, Cuckfield, maker unknown. Gift of the Mantell Family, 1930. CC BY-NC-ND 4.0. Te Papa (GH004839).
"This small and rather unprepossessing object is one of Te Papa's most valuable treasures—a fossil iguanodontid tooth with a worn crown. It is one of the first fossils ever to be recognised as dinosaur and its discovery marked the beginning of dinosaur studies."
