HUGE 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, very few are of true quality and only a handful hit the magic 4.5" mark.  Many are either restored or fabricated (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 some encrustation still being attached to the tooth, has actual tooth 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 a handful that were of this size.  THIS TOOTH HAS NO FABRICATION AND IS COMPLETE!  

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 AAA grade!  Amazing in this size, the tip is pointed and fully intact with excellent form and only one minor bit of feeding wear on the reverse side which does not detract from the value or rarity.  This wear is natural and the smooth edges of the region of the tip indicates that this tooth was used considerably by the beast.   

Every feature of this tooth is hard to find nowadays in even 2" teeth, not to mention a 4.5" tooth!!!  To protect this exceedingly rare fossil tooth, we have chemically hardened the surface and areas of the encrustation to take every precaution to prevent any damage to this tooth.  

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.
