CARCHARODONTOSAURUS DINOSAUR TOOTH - "Taouz" region of the Sahara Desert, Morocco LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD: 96 - 66 million years ago The last image really shows off the beauty of this Carcharodontosaurus tooth. With the exception for a very fine fracture repair at just the first .25" of the tip, this tooth is intact and in remarkable preservation. Both sides are solid and the enamel is complete with a bright sunset gold-orange glow and sheen. Stunning grain can be seen across the near perfect smooth surface on both sides. The serrations are worn in some areas from feeding use but where present, display a crisp detail. Even the tip is present and only shows the slightest evidence of natural feeding wear. Of course, NO RESTORATION. Tooth is much better in person than in photos above. This tooth was found several years ago when fine condition teeth were more prevalent. If you are looking for a well-preserved tooth in this size class, you will be hard-pressed to locate a better specimen! Quality Carcharodontosaurus teeth such as this example represent one of, if not THE fastest appreciating dinosaur teeth on the market. CHOICE SURFACE PRESERVATION AND HUE - TEETH LIKE THIS ARE ULTRA SCARCE NOW! 2.5" long on the curve x 1" wide $475 DT218 INCLUDES DISPLAY BOX Actual Item - One Only |
