UNBROKEN CREAM-COLORED CARCHARODONTOSAURUS DINOSAUR TOOTH

"Taouz" region of the Sahara Desert, Morocco

LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  96 - 66 million years ago

Found over two years ago and now of a quality that is rarely discovered, this superb and highly rare BLONDE enamel Carcharodontosaurus tooth is a specimen that you will never want to upgrade.  In an unheard of state of preservation, this example HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED OR RESTORED WITH ANY FILLERS OR SAND!  The separations on the surface are expansion cracks from age and do not go through to the other side.  They have been stabilized to protect the integrity of this remarkably rare specimen.  

This light tapioca blond tooth is one of the rarest hues we encounter at the formation.  To further add to the beauty, the enamel seems to be spattered with blood but it is actually a natural color pattern in the enamel caused by the fossilization process.  The pattern is not the enamel peeling but is the color in the INTACT enamel as shown.  This robust example features nice, fine serrations and tip with only minor surface wear from the dinosaur's feeding.  The round cross-section indicates this tooth occupied an anterior jaw position.  A minor surface blemish on the upper display side does not detract.  The stunning white root portion is present for wonderful contrast.  Surface of tooth enamel is smooth and glossy with no peel.  Again, this bizarre coloration is IN the enamel and not flaking off enamel as it may seem.
