Authentic Carcharodontosaurus Fossil Tooth
The Carcharodontosaurus was a massive predator that roamed North Africa during the Late Cretaceous period. Known as the “shark-toothed lizard,” it lived around 90 million years ago. Its serrated teeth were built for tearing into prey, much like the teeth of a great white shark. This authentic Carcharodontosaurus fossil tooth offers a chance to own a rare specimen that tells the story of life in an age of giants.
The fossil tooth itself shows natural wear from time, pressure, and age. Many specimens come from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco, a fossil-rich formation. This area has produced some of the most important dinosaur finds in the world. The fossil tooth varies in size but often measures between 2 and 3 inches. Larger specimens are much rarer.
Carcharodontosaurus was one of the largest carnivores to ever live. Scientists estimate its length at 40 feet or more. Its skull alone measured over 5 feet. The serrated teeth of this predator are among the most iconic fossils, prized for their shape and cutting edges. Owning one of these teeth connects you to an apex predator from the Cretaceous world.
These authentic fossil teeth are not replicas. They are naturally preserved specimens collected legally from known formations. Every tooth is unique, with its own pattern of preservation, mineral staining, and enamel quality. Some may show feeding wear, while others keep sharper serrations.
Collectors appreciate the historic and scientific importance. Teachers use them as hands-on tools for lessons. Fossil hunters enjoy them as part of personal displays. Each authentic Carcharodontosaurus fossil tooth comes with a certificate of authenticity for peace of mind.
