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

LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  96 - 66 million years ago

Now that large Spinosaurus teeth have become very rare in any quality condition, there are more "enhanced" teeth on the market to be wary of.  Painting the tooth to conceal damage or adding a base of another tooth to lengthen and then cover up with sand and glue are just some of the tricks I see every day especially on the large auction website.  This whopper tooth has NO RESTORATION and has only been repaired in a couple of fine breaks that it sustained when found.  Its tip is intact with only very slight, natural feeding wear from the monster dinosaur's use.  The enamel is intact and of an intense blood red / orange hue that is usually only seen on the choice teeth that were found at a higher layer many years earlier.  This tooth came from a full-grown Spinosaurus evident in the girth and profile of the tooth (a mature dinosaur had many teeth of drastically varying lengths).  Every feature of this tooth is hard to find nowadays in even 2" teeth, not to mention a 3.35" tooth!!!
