LARGE FINEST GRADE SPINOSAURUS TOOTH - Tegana Formation - Kem Kem, Morocco LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD: 96 - 66 million years ago WOW! This remarkable investment grade dinosaur tooth is THE FINEST tooth that we have ever collected in this size! Just look at that tip - it is 100% genuine all the way to the needle-like point. In the thousands of teeth we collect and have dealt with, this tooth will always rank as one of the finest and certainly one of the rarest Spinosaurus teeth we have ever seen, especially in this day with the current state of depletion at the source of any large teeth. With the formation that these teeth are found now being practically depleted, a tooth such as this amazingly rare example is definitely one of the most promising investments one can make at this point in time. Current diggers are working at the lowest layers of the Cretaceous which means any deeper and you go beyond the Cretaceous. No more Spinosaurus teeth beyond that! NOTE: A common trick in the market is to attach either a bunch of sand mixed with glue on the end of the tooth's root to exaggerate the length or even worse, glue another tooth's root on to the end and disguise the seam with more sand and glue. In either case, these look like very large teeth but they are faked. Don't be fooled when you are shopping for ANY large dinosaur teeth. These are common practices of both unscrupulous and uninformed dealers. It really pays to know who you are buying from! I see both of these practices done quite frequently in the large tooth market and numerous junk teeth are selling for ridiculous high prices (ESPECIALLY on Ebay where these kind of practices are the rule for anything where authenticity is important!) The fourth image from the top shows a close-up of the root end. Clearly, the edges of the tooth can be seen protruding thereby proving the true length of this prize specimen. The tip on this massive tooth is as sharp as they come with no visible wear, whatsoever. The enamel and hue is superb and richly toned. Light encrustation on the root from sediments in which it was found. Unlike other dealers, we provide FULL DISCLOSURE on every specimen. You know exactly what you are buying when you invest in one of our choice fossil teeth. A fracture has been repaired but this is undetectable and does not detract from the value of such a rare example. NO RESTORATION ANYWHERE ON THIS CHOICE EXAMPLE! Entire tooth has been stabilized to protect from any handling damage. We could go on and on. The images are speak volumes and if you like these photos, you should see the tooth in person - it's even better! UNBELIEVABLE SIZE, QUALITY AND BEAUTY! AN OLD FIND WE ARE FINALLY RELEASING FOR SALE 4.5" long along the curve x 1.1" wide SOLD DT5-001 INCLUDES DISPLAY BOX Actual Item - One Only |
