SPINOSAURUS DINOSAUR TOOTH - Tegana Formation - Kem Kem, Morocco

LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  96 - 66 million years ago

This mammoth-sized dinosaur tooth would have been 7 inches long had the tip not been worn.  Than again, with such a large creature, it is nearly impossible to find teeth in this size range that are not worn considering the amount of eating a large dinosaur would have had to do to sustain such massive body mass.  This is the largest tooth we have in our inventory and came from a completely full grown and very large Spinosaurus.  The root is very complete and gives indication as to the necessary strength and anchor such a tooth needs from such a ferocious animal with extreme bite force.  This exceptionally large Spinosaurus tooth is a VERY rare example and despite its somewhat rough appearance and wear, it is as every bit valuable as any slightly lesser-sized tooth in pristine condition.  There have been a few repairs performed but they do not detract considering such incredible size.  Enamel is dramatically ridged as is typical on very large examples and the vast majority of the rich walnut-hued enamel is intact with a nice gloss.  Tip is not broken off from mishandling but exhibits ONLY  natural wear from the dinosaur's constant use in feeding.  Best side is shown.  

Teeth in this size are rarely available on the market.  Any specimen that even approaches 5 inches always carries a hefty price tag.  As we are a major and direct source for many dinosaur teeth, we are able to offer such a rarity for a reasonable price.  I strongly recommend this amazing example to any collector because prizes like these are no longer being found and steady appreciation of prices in the market are already reflecting that.

WITH TIP INTACT, THIS WOULD BE A 7 INCH LONG TOOTH!
