OUR FINEST EVER INVESTMENT-GRADE LARGE VELOCIRAPTORINE DROMAEOSAUR " RAPTOR " TOOTH Tegana Formation - Kem Kem Beds, 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. Without question, this is the absolute finest large fossil tooth we ever offered from a dromaeosaur (aka "raptor") the size of Velociraptor. It is INTACT and WITH NO RESTORATION AND NO REPAIR. Every serration is displayed with exceptional preservation and the long slender geometry terminates in a perfectly intact and sharp tip. The serrations run sharp and detailed down the entire length. The enamel is in amazing condition with an underlying ivory white tone accented by a blush of orange and blood red speckling. This is a rare size at the maximum range for this type of dinosaur from this deposit where most dromaeosaur teeth rarely 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. If you value owning the absolute best specimens then this rarity comes with our strong recommendation. FINEST LARGE VELOCIRAPTORINE TOOTH WE EVER OFFERED OF THIS SIZE - INVEST IN THE BEST AND FORGET THE REST! 1.25" long along the leading curve SOLD DT6-060 INCLUDES DISPLAY BOX Actual Item - One Only |
