A superb example from one of the Saharan carnivore predators, the infamous relative of Tyrannosaurus rex. Carcharodontosaurus saharicus is trending globally as the North African T'Rex and is regarded for its fierce teeth and immense size, more than its North American cousin, the Tyrannosaurus rex. The Carcharodontosaurus ranged from around 98,000,000 to 94,000,000 million years ago.

We are pleased to present our latest series of Carcharodontosaurus dinosaur teeth from the renowned Cenomanian-Turonian beds of the Cretaceous period dating some 100,000,000 - 89,000,000 years ago.

Condition: A Complete tooth with conservation in the UK. The tooth enamel, where the dentin-surface patination is preserved, exhibits iron reddish hues over blonde enamel colour throughout its length. Serrations are evident slight nibbling in the lower carina and distal carina. Consolidation has created a stout in the hand feel, an uncommon example from Carcharodontosaurus. The tip of the crown does not appear to be reseated and is firmly in place; although evidence of a linear crease, the enamel is perfectly smooth, probable fossil-bed movement millenia ago and solidification has occurred. Minerals and aeons of deposition in the Cretaceous fossil bed layer dictate the tonal pallet.

Large dinosaur teeth are prone to damage in the fossil bed, whereas, by comparison, smaller teeth often fare better. Larger teeth commonly display some degree of wear unless of rare and exceptional discoveries. Dinosaur teeth become loose and fall out in use, which ought to be considered when reviewing any tooth preservation. Often morphology of the teeth is of great interest and helps scientists understand the carnivore's life.

Measurements are taken from the mesial curvature.
