MQ Rooted 3.32 Carcharodontosaurus Tooth Dinosaur Fossil T Rex

This listing is for a Carcharodontosaurus dinosaur tooth from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. Carcharodontosaurus means "Shark Tooth Lizard" due to the blade-like shape of the teeth. It was as large or larger than T Rex which is why it is sometimes called the "African T Rex" even though they are separated by about 30 million years.

The tooth has absolutely no repair or restoration and has incredible enamel, color and serrations. The tooth has an incredible natural root and some glue was added to the tooth to keep it intact during excavation. Rooted teeth like this are extremely rare and usually faked but this is all natural. With some careful cleaning this will be a MQ addition to any fossil collection! The tooth measures 3.32 in length on a straight line measured with accurate digital calipers.

The tooth was found outside the city of Taouz Morocco along a cliff facing which separates Morocco from Algeria. This area is known as the Kem Kem Beds and dates back to the Cretaceous Period about 95 million years in age. The amazing thing is that this area used to be a lush tropical environment full of life. All of the waterways and river systems created a perfect environment for teeth, claws and bones to become fossilized.
