DELTADROMEUS TOOTH - Tegana Formation of Kem Kem, Morocco

CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  99 - 93 million years ago

It is a highly rare occurrence to find ANY sizable carnivorous dinosaur tooth to be intact.  Fortunately, we were able to collect such a specimen.  There is no restoration on this beauty and the entire tooth is present and original!  The tip on this example is very sharp and pointed which is nearly impossible to find on these teeth.  There is an expansion fissure (that we have stabilized) caused by aging, running down the center of the tooth.  This is not a crack from damage and it does not run through the entire length.  In no way does it detract from the solidarity and beauty of the tooth as seen from the display side.  The wonderful mix of colors are natural and make for a gorgeous and rare tooth as well as an impressive display fossil.

Deltadromeus agilis was a meat-eating dinosaur believed to be an early offshoot of the therapod line that led to the development of tyrannosaurs and raptors in North America.   

This carnosaur is greater than 25 feet in length and is 8 feet high at the hip.  Estimated weight when the creature was alive is 3.5 to 4 tons.  Deltadromeus approaches the size of Tyrannosaurus yet, was a swift and agile hunter.  

Do not miss out on this beautiful specimen of this very rare and highly sought-after new species of dinosaur while still available.
