SPINOSAURUS DINOSAUR TOOTH - Tegana Formation - Kem Kem, Morocco

LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  96 - 66 million years ago

The most spectacular member of the uncommonly known family of Spinosauridae, Spinosaurus had an elaborate sail on its back.  Broad, skin-covered spines over 6 feet long projected upward from the backbone.  Two different purposes for these spines have been suggested.  The sail may have been used as a heat exchanger or it may have been a recognition feature for other Spinosaurus.

Spinosaurus was a giant, 50 feet long and weighed more than 4 tons.  The teeth of the Spinosaurus were also different from those of other carnosaurs (meat-eating lizards); they were straight rather than curved.  They had a crocodile-like lower jaw lined with medium sized teeth and probably ate smaller dinosaurs and other animals.  

The teeth offered here are the finest quality in our entire collection and hand selected by myself as superb, Grade 1 specimens.  They were found in the Tegana Formation - Kem Kem, Morocco.  Each specimen possesses choice quality enamel, condition and size.  These are EXTREMELY RARE and should be included in any serious collector's cabinet while still available in this lifetime at such an affordable price.
