Carcharodontosaurus Tooth

A Carcharodontosaurus tooth from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. This is a nice sized tooth with good enamel. Carcharodontosaurus had heavily serrated, blade-like teeth and preyed upon large herbivores, such as the sauropod Rebbachisaurus. The tooth has some wear to the serrations, a neat repair and no restoration.

The geological group where this tooth was found, the Kem Kem Beds, is a series of sandstones and mudstones, exposed along the Algerian-Moroccan border. Deposited in a fluvial-deltaic environment with rivers, floodplains, and coastal wetlands, these sediments preserve a diverse fauna, including theropod dinosaurs (Spinosaurus, Carcharodontosaurus), crocodyliforms, pterosaurs, and abundant fish.

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 Carcharodontosaurus (fossil can be removed from the box).

This is genuine fossil. All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.
