LARGE SPINOSAURUS 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 completely present and of an intense ruby red / orange hue with a blood red "spattered" pattern in the grain that really makes for a breathtaking look. For a tooth this size with such a robust profile, we know that it came from a full-grown dinosaur. It is nearly impossible to find teeth of this type to have such a sharp and well-preserved point intact. This is one of those VERY rare exceptions! Every feature of this tooth is hard to find nowadays in even 2" teeth, not to mention a 3.4" specimen. A SERIOUS 'SPIKE' OF A TOOTH WITH AN AMAZINGLY INTACT POINT FOR THIS SIZE! 3.4" long on the curve x 1.1" wide SOLD DT532 INCLUDES DISPLAY BOX Actual Item - One Only |
