Authentic Spinosaurus Tooth
The Spinosaurus was one of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs to ever live. Bigger than even Tyrannosaurus rex. With a crocodile-like snout lined with long conical teeth. This tooth comes from the Cretaceous period, around 100 million years ago. It belonged to a hunter built for fishing in vast river systems. Its powerful jaws crushed prey with ease.
This authentic Spinosaurus tooth was found in the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. These fossil layers are famous for preserving bones and teeth of prehistoric giants. The tooth retains much of its original shape. You can see the smooth enamel and natural serrations. A few chips or wear marks are normal. They tell the story of an animal that lived and hunted in a dangerous world.
The tooth is fossilized mineral replacing the original dentin. This natural process took millions of years. The color varies from deep brown to reddish hues depending on the iron content in the sediment. Some show natural cracks from fossilization. But these add character.
For collectors, owning a spinosaurus tooth authentic specimen is like holding a piece of prehistoric history. It is not a cast or replica. Each tooth is unique. Some may have gentle restoration for stability. But the majority of the material is genuine fossil.
