Carcharodontosaurid Tooth (Eocarcharia Dinops)

An Eocarcharia dinops tooth from the Elrhaz Formation of Niger. Eocarcharia was a Carcharodontosaurid dinosaur with large, blade-shaped teeth and lived alongside other theropods such as Kryptops and Suchomimus. This tooth is a nice size, has good enamel and bit of damage/wear on the one edge.

The geological formation where this tooth was found, the Elrhaz Formation, located in the Ténéré Desert of Niger, is an Early Cretaceous (112 million years ago) sedimentary unit renowned for its exceptional vertebrate fossil record. Composed of fluvial sandstones, mudstones, and conglomerates, it represents a lush, river-dominated floodplain environment with seasonal lakes and abundant vegetation. This formation is famous for yielding Suchomimus tenerensis, a piscivorous spinosaurid, alongside the sauropod Nigersaurus taqueti, crocodyliforms like Sarcosuchus imperator, and diverse fish and pterosaurs.

The tooth comes stored in a display box featuring the specimen name, region it was found, age and a QR code linking to some information about Eocarcharia (fossil can be removed from the box).
