RARE WHITE LARGE CHOICE GRADE VELOCIRAPTORINE DINOSAUR TOOTH Tegana Formation - Kem Kem, Morocco LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD: 96 - 66 million years ago Many African dinosaurs are yet undiscovered and/or identified. Saharan expeditions in the recent years have yielded incredible new discoveries of many species never known to exist including a yet-to-be-named dromaeosaur. There are likely several species of African dromaeosaurs, ranging from the size of a peacock up to the size of Velociraptor, that have never been attributed based on wide ranging characteristics of the teeth. This is a classic dromaeosaur " raptor " dinosaur tooth from a dinosaur the size of Velociraptor. It is a very rare WHITE COLOR, a hue we have seldom collected compared to the more typical darker browns and reds. This spectacular grade example is INTACT and WITH NO RESTORATION AND NO REPAIR. It possesses a laterally compressed body and dagger-shaped profile. The serrations run sharp and detailed down the entire length. The tip exhibits an intact needle-sharp tip. Also rare is the size. It is quite large as seldom do dromaeosaur teeth exceed half an inch in length. Most raptors were only knee-high and about the size of small dogs, hence the very small teeth that are usually found. This is a wonderful tooth of a seldom seen fine grade.
