Carcharodontosaurus Saharicus N.African Tyrannosaurus Rex Dinosaur Tooth 80mm
About the Item
An impressive 80mm Carcharodontosaurus saharicus dinosaur tooth, known as the North African Tyrannosaurus rex for its formidable size. A noteworthy discovery from the Northern African landscape, where this exotic theropod dinosaur roamed the Late Cretaceous landscapes. Recognised for its immense size and fearsome predatory nature, this apex predator inhabited the Continental Intercalaire of Northern Africa. With a robust build, serrated teeth, and a commanding presence, Carcharodontosaurus saharicus held a significant role in the Late Cretaceous ecosystems, showcasing the diversity of large theropods during that era.
CONDITION
A firm favourite specimen for its aesthetic that holds a thin and streamlined structure adapting a typical sabre-curved killing tooth, detailing notable serrations within. Complete tooth with conservation, featuring preserved dentin-surface patination exhibiting iron reddish hues over blonde enamel throughout its length. Serrations show slight nibbling in the lower carina and distal carina. Consolidation has provided a stout, in-hand feel, making it an uncommon example from Carcharodontosaurus. The crown's tip appears firmly in place with evidence of a linear crease, suggesting probable fossil-bed movement millennia ago. Minerals and aeons of deposition in the Cretaceous fossil bed layer influence the tonal palette.
