HUGE
SPINOSAURUS
DINOSAUR TOOTH -
Tegana Formation - Kem Kem, Morocco
LATE
CRETACEOUS PERIOD: 96 - 66 million years ago
WOW!
What can be said in the presence of such a tooth??? This is THE
FINEST tooth that we collected in all of last year's digging amongst our
mining contacts. It is surreal in its beauty and perfection.
In the thousands of teeth we collect and have dealt with, this tooth
will always rank as one of the finest.
What is
extremely rare is that it was found just this past year. Anyone
that has been shopping for Spinosaurus teeth can attest to what we have
been saying for the last several years - the formation is no longer
producing fine grade teeth in the larger sizes. We are now digging
at depths of as much as 24 meters, THREE TIMES! the previous
depths. Still, the source is practically depleted. A tooth
such as this amazingly rare example is definitely one of the most
promising investments one can make at this point in time. In the
last year of digging, the cumulative effort of many of our mining
partners produced less than 5 quality large teeth 4" and
over. This is the finest condition tooth of the entire year's
efforts of 2002!!! Need we say more about what the situation
is. Since dinosaurs are long gone, things will only get worse.
A common
trick in the market is to attach either a bunch of sand mixed with glue
on the end of the tooth's root to exaggerate the length or even worse,
glue another tooth's root on to the end and disguise the seam with more
sand and glue. In either case, these look like very large teeth
but they are faked. Don't be fooled when you are shopping for ANY
large dinosaur teeth. These are common practices of both
unscrupulous and uninformed dealers. It really pays to know who
you are buying from! I see both of these practices done quite
frequently in the large tooth market and numerous junk teeth are selling
for ridiculous high prices (ESPECIALLY in the online auctions!).
The tip
on this massive specimen is as sharp as they come with no visible wear,
whatsoever. The enamel and hue is of the finest condition possible
on BOTH sides. The only drawback is a micro-fine fissure across
the root section that has been stabilized to protect the integrity and
intactness of this incredible find. In no way does this detract or
take away from its rarity or value. ZERO encrustation on the root
end proves this to be a true monster tooth. Unlike
other dealers, we provide FULL DISCLOSURE on every specimen.
You know exactly what you are buying when you invest in one of our
choice fossil teeth. There is NO
RESTORATION ANYWHERE ON THIS CHOICE EXAMPLE!
We could
go on and on. The second and third images are absolutely
hypnotizing and if you like these photos, you should see the tooth in
person - it's even better!
