SPINOSAURUS JAW SECTION WITH TOOTH - Tegana Formation - Kem Kem, Morocco

LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  96 - 66 million years ago

Compared to teeth, complete bones from large carnivorous dinosaurs are a true fossil rarity.  A dinosaur shed thousands of teeth in a lifetime in the same manner as sharks do but a dinosaur only had a single bone of each type and position in their skeleton.  To find a complete or near complete specimen is extremely rare!  An average condition bone far exceeds the rarity that a choice grade tooth represents simply because of the logistics of the possible quantities.  Add to this that you have a genuine jaw section with an ORIGINAL TOOTH STILL ANCHORED in the bone and you have a true rare and unique specimen!

This genuine fossil jaw with tooth is from a juvenile Spinosaurus.  The bone AND tooth are in rare form, completely white and in excellent preservation.  Most bone from the Kem Kem is stained red from the sediments.  The teeth are also usually dark red to dark brown.  This jaw still has some of the original sand adhered to the bone and the TOOTH IS GUARANTEED TO BE GENUINE AND NATURAL AS FOUND ATTACHED TO THE JAW.  This tooth is complete with no repair and no restoration performed.  It possesses a rare and beautiful faint cream enamel transitioning to pure white as it near the jaw.  The section is from the anterior of the jaw.  Superb detail can still be seen in both the bone and tooth as shown in the last photos. 

In today's market, quality Spinosaurus teeth are rare but a jaw section with an original tooth still attached is something that we find only once ever several years at best.  This AAA grade specimen is a bargain at the mere price of a fine quality tooth despite it being far more rare.  A full YEAR of collecting yielded only this one specimen!
