HUGE INTACT SPINOSAURUS DINOSAUR TOOTH - Tegana Formation - Kem Kem, Morocco

LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  96 - 66 million years ago

Of the few remaining large Spinosaurus teeth still available to the public, we have yet to see any that come close to the rarity and value of this incredible example.  All are either repaired, restored or even faked (gluing a root of one large tooth on the base of another and covering with matrix) to attain the stated length.  With this example, despite matrix still being attached to the tooth, the display side as shown, has been exposed all the way to the base giving clear evidence of the true size of this whopper specimen.  Out of thousands of teeth we have personally had in stock over the past years, we have only had less than 5 that were of this size and INTACT with no fractures or repairs of any kind.  THIS TOOTH HAS NO REPAIR OR RESTORATION and because of this and its size, this is one of the rarest Spinosaurus teeth you will find anywhere.  Almost always, when a tooth reaches near 4" and over, it is heavily worn, aged, fractured, etc.  Look at the condition of the enamel and tip on this treasure!!!  It is almost PERFECT!  Amazing in this size, the tip is pointed and fully intact with excellent form and only one minor bit of feeding damage on the reverse side which does not detract from the value or rarity.  The enamel is gorgeous ON BOTH SIDES and is the deepest wine red and plum with blood red and orange highlights.  

Every feature of this tooth is hard to find nowadays in even 2" teeth, not to mention a 4.25" tooth!!!  To protect this exceedingly rare fossil tooth, we have chemically hardened the end and areas of the encrustation to take every precaution to prevent any damage to this tooth.  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 tooth above the jaw. 

In today's market, Spinosaurus teeth of this size and quality with no repair or restoration, are unheard of.  Probably very few still remain available for sale that have not been fiddled with to enhance the appearance, size, etc.  This is a legendary specimen and a sure bet as far as investing in rare fossils.  There is no repair or restoration done on this tooth - guaranteed!  Diggers are not finding teeth like this any more at the site and when they did, this kind of tooth was ALWAYS a RARE FIND.  Without a doubt, one of the rarest Spinosaurus teeth we have ever had (out of over 2500 teeth) and the finest and rarest UNTOUCHED specimen we have ever seen.

BEST AND RAREST TOOTH WE KNOW OF STILL AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC!
