CARCHARODONTOSAURUS TOOTH - "Taouz" region of the Sahara Desert, Morocco

CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  96 - 66 million years ago

If it weren't for the scattered areas of missing enamel, this would be literally a PERFECT tooth.  It appears as though it was never used by the creature as there is no wear or damage on the tip and the serrations are in a state of preservation that we have rarely seen on ANY large carnosaur tooth.  This has to be one of our most beautiful and rare teeth of this fascinating dinosaur.  The color is a deep brick red / walnut brown and it exhibits the finest gloss and surface sheen.  The patches of enamel that are lacking and the reverse side lightly encrusted with the original matrix do not detract as this is such a superb shaped, preserved and sizable example.  The most amazing feature is that this tooth is INTACT with no repair and no restoration!!!  This is super rare on teeth from the Carcharodontosaurus and truly puts this tooth in a class all its own.  Intact teeth that have not been repaired always command a premium.  This tooth is even better in person than in photos above.

A QUALITY NO LONGER FOUND - STUNNING SERRATIONS, NO WEAR AND I-N-T-A-C-T!!!
