UNBROKEN FINEST GRADE BEAUTIFUL SPINOSAURUS DINOSAUR TOOTH

Tegana Formation - Kem Kem, Morocco

LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  96 - 66 million years ago

This is a beautiful Spinosaurus dinosaur tooth with dark red and brown tones in the superb enamel from an adult dinosaur.  It is in rare form because it is without any repair.  Unbroken teeth of this size and quality of preservation from this dinosaur are not common!  This fine specimen has natural feeding wear on the tip but it is complete with even a portion of the root.  Overall color and preservation is spectacular, there's not many of these teeth around any more!  This fine specimen is INTACT and has NO REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION.  An excellent and very displayable specimen from a Spinosaurus dinosaur.  The tooth is of quality that is becoming difficult to find in today's market.
 


The remains of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus were first discovered by a German collector in 1912 in central Egypt.  A variety of pieces were recovered including a skull and teeth.  On the evening of April 24, 1944, a British bombing run on Munich destroyed these and many other rare fossil specimens.

Spinosaurus is one of the longest and strangest of all carnivorous dinosaurs.  At 50 feet long and 4 tons in weight, it was truly a monster!  Its most unusual feature was a row of broad club-shaped spines 6 feet tall, projecting upward from the backbone.  It's believed that these spines were covered with a sail of skin which could be raised by the creature as a  social display or as a way to regulate body temperature.  

To this day, no other dinosaur has been found with such tall and broad-shaped neural spines.  Fossil remains of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus are only found in the North African Sahara Desert.  Contrary to the inhospitable desert environment where Spinosaurus fossils are found today, this region was a vast swampy tropical paradise abundant with life during the Cretaceous Period when Spinosaurus was alive and inhabiting its muddy river shores and bogs.
