HUGE CARCHARODONTOSAURUS
DINOSAUR TOOTH
-
"Taouz" region
of the Sahara Desert, Morocco
LATE
CRETACEOUS PERIOD: 96 - 66 million years ago
What
is important to consider in this giant investment-grade dinosaur tooth
is that there is none of the common restoration found in these large
teeth. All the pieces are present and this remarkable tooth has
only been repaired. There is none of the "glue and sand"
tricks where missing areas are filled. You can plainly see the
broken root at the base indicating that this is all tooth. Unlike the majority of
"large" teeth we have seen in the online auctions, this choice
specimen has not been painted nor has part of another tooth been
cleverly attached to make one large tooth. This is a GENUINE and
single massive specimen that has only undergone repair and nothing more!
This amazing specimen
is far nicer than appears in the images above. The enamel is
nearly intact with a warm orange gold hue and excellent graining and
shine. The serrations are in
superb condition on
the trailing edge and are
intact the ENTIRE length of the tooth.
THE TIP IS GENUINE
AND ORIGINAL and
exhibits virtually no wear! Unlike other large teeth that have
large areas filled with sand and glue or are missing portions that have
been recreated, this tooth has NO
RESTORATION and
required only minor repair to fine cracks.
All in all, this tooth would be
considered a fantastic and excellent example in any size but its giant
proportions make it a true PRIZE!
The most ferocious and
sizeable killer dinosaur that lived in the North African continent
during the Cretaceous was the Carcharodontosaurus. Many
misinformed dealers and collectors call this the African T. rex but
there is no relation to such. Nevertheless, fine quality teeth
from Carcharodontosaurus have appreciated so rapidly in value just in
the last year alone that prices are now approaching T. rex teeth because
the source is nearly depleted. Considering this, this amazing
specimen could be one of the last chances to own a genuine and
complete giant dinosaur tooth from one of the most fearsome killers that
walked the earth. This
specimen is EXTREMELY RARE and should be included in any serious
collector's cabinet while still available in this lifetime.
It represents the finest and rarest quality available and is a MUST
HAVE for any true dinosaur aficionado. Genuine LARGE examples from
ANY carnivorous dinosaur are now one of the rarest fossils, guaranteed
to permanently appreciate in a very aggressive manner in the coming
years. The demand for quality GENUINE dinosaur remains continue to
escalate while sources near complete depletion. RARE
MASSIVE TOOTH WITH STEAK KNIFE SERRATIONS AND COMPLETE!
