Eocarcharia dinops Tooth - 1.81 inch #10 (Elrhaz Fm)

Description

An Eocarcharia dinops dinosaur tooth from the Elrhaz Formation of Niger.  Eocarcharia was a Carcharodontosaurid and only discovered in 2000. It had blade like teeth, as well as a large mass of bone along its brow, giving it a distinctive and menacing look.

This tooth has some wear but has no repairs.  The shape suggests it may be a premaxillary tooth, however as there's little published it is possible this belongs to another type of unidentified theropod.

Comes labelled and stored in an acrylic case with padding.

Condition: Fair

Size: 1.81 Inch

Age: 112 Million Years

Locality: Gadaoufa, Tenere Desert, Niger (Elrhaz Formation)
