SPINOSAURUS DINOSAUR TOOTH - Tegana Formation - Kem Kem, Morocco

LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  96 - 66 million years ago

This is as good as they get!  Amazingly, the tip exhibits NO WEAR.  The supreme enamel is of an incredible bright hot orange and gold color.  Tip is present all the way to the very sharp point!  THERE IS NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION, TOOTH IS COMPLETE AND UNTOUCHED!  A super investment in a choice quality dinosaur tooth.  We have not been finding any teeth of this quality at the formation for over a year now.  This is a must-have specimen! 

Many times when an exceptional quality 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.

Teeth of this quality are becoming exceedingly rare.  I strongly recommend this amazing example to any collector because prizes like this specimen are no longer being found at the formation and steady appreciation of prices in the market are already reflecting that.

INCREDIBLE COLOR AND PRESERVATION!
