HUGE RARE FINEST GRADE 3.75 INCH SPINOSAURUS DINOSAUR TOOTH Tegana Formation - Kem Kem, Morocco LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD: 96 - 66 million years ago Rarely do you find such a LARGE and COMPLETE SPINOSAURUS DINOSAUR TOOTH in such choice condition as this wonderful example. The entire tooth is complete with NO FABRICATION and only minor repair to hairline fract Unlike other dealers, we provide FULL DISCLOSURE on every specimen. You know exactly what you are buying when you invest in one of our fossils. Tip exhibits NO WEAR!!! In this size approaching FOUR INCHES, this is extremely rare to have such an original and sharp tip! Just look at that original and complete, sharply pointed tip! Yes, it is real! This superb investment-grade example boasts of NO RESTORATION! All parts of this tooth are present and complete! The supreme enamel is of an incredible soft brown mix with gold root portion. Highly recommended as teeth like this are rarely found anymore at the deposit compared to years ago when this specimen was collected. If you have been holding out for a supreme and giant-size Spinosaurus tooth then this may be the last opportunity to secure such a choice specimen. It is quite discouraging what is now on the market compared to just a few years ago. Dinosaur teeth of this quality are becoming very rare in today's market. Only fossils of the finest quality will appreciate and give a lifetime of pride in ownership. The dinosaur this specimen came from would have been the maximum size creature known! Teeth in this size and this condition are nearly priceless since very few exist to compare to. We strongly recommend this amazing example to any collector because prizes like these are sure to be strong investments in even the near future considering the current state of the source and its nearly exhausted supply of large teeth. Steady appreciation of prices in the market have already reflected that in the last recent years. WARNING: Most large dinosaur teeth in the market today are clever composites of a root from one tooth puttied on to the crown of another specimen. Another common trick today is to start with a massive but heavily worn stub tooth and fabricate a nice slender tip then stain the entire fake tooth a smooth, lustrous brown. If you see a large tooth in today's market that is of such extraordinary perfect condition, you should be HIGHLY SUSPECT AND GET EVERY POSSIBLE GUARANTEE OF NO FABRICATION OR RESTORATION IN WRITING BY THE DEALER!!! Ebay is even worse and we've yet to see a GENUINE single, "no-tricks" large African dinosaur tooth of ANY SPECIES listed there in the last couple of years. Lots of real good-looking big teeth but all with serious issues not disclosed in the text. 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! We see both of these practices done quite frequently in the large tooth market and numerous junk teeth are selling for ridiculous high prices as well as "too good to be true" prices. (ESPECIALLY on EBAY where fake EVERYTHING is RAMPANT!)
Spinosaurus is one of the
longest and strangest of all carnivorous dinosaurs. At 50 feet long
and 4 tons in weight, it was truly a monster! Its most unusual
feature was a row of broad club-shaped spines 6 feet tall, projecting
upward from the backbone. It's believed that these spines were
covered with a sail of skin which could be raised by the creature as a
To this day, no other dinosaur has been found with such tall and broad-shaped neural spines. Fossil remains of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus are only found in the North African Sahara Desert. Contrary to the inhospitable desert environment where Spinosaurus fossils are found today, this region was a vast swampy tropical paradise abundant with life during the Cretaceous Period when Spinosaurus was alive and inhabiting its muddy river shores and bogs.
