SPINOSAURUS DINOSAUR TOOTH - Tegana Formation - Kem Kem, Morocco

LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  96 - 66 million years ago

It's been a long time since I've seen ANY dinosaur tooth with such beautifully grained and preserved enamel as this exceptionally large Spinosaurus tooth.  Even the photos above do not do it justice.  You have to see it to believe it!  If you have never seen grain and enamel on such a large tooth like this one then that is perfectly normal.  You shouldn't.  It's RARE!!!  This tooth is about as good as it gets for condition.  Coupled with its remarkable size, rare and unique enamel and condition, this tooth is a "must have" for anyone that is willing to invest in a museum grade example of this dinosaur.  Moreover, unlike many large teeth on the market that are mostly root compared to the overall length, this is an honest-to-goodness whopper tooth that is mostly crown (tooth above the jaw). 

Many times when an exceptionally large dinosaur tooth is offered on the market, it has a very long root compared to the tooth portion that existed ABOVE THE JAW.  These teeth are touted as huge rarities and passed off as "giant dinosaur teeth" when in fact, the specimen is mostly all root, and what's worse, sometimes this root is artificially created with resin and putty.  Do not let yourself be fooled.  When you are comparing teeth, look at JUST THE PORTION WITHOUT THE ROOT.  Use this as a gauge to analyze a large size tooth.  If the price seems like a great deal for such a large tooth and the root is half the length of the tooth or more, then it's a bad deal and cannot be compared to a tooth with a normal root length of about 1/3 the overall length of the tooth, or less.

I could go on and on about this one but the pictures speak volumes and remember... this tooth is nicer in person than in the photos.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
