Formation:  Tegana Formation

This is a very unusual dinosaur tooth in matrix. This is a Spinosaurus aegyptiacus tooth from the Cretaceous of Morocco. It is very difficult to obtain dinosaur teeth from Morocco in the original matrix. Here is a wonderful specimen with one tooth firmly embedded in the large, natural block. The tooth is 3-dimensionally preserved and the corrugated enamel of the tooth is easily seen. The reddish-brown color of the tooth contrasts nicely with the light red matrix. This is an extremely unusual tooth from this giant, carniverous dinosaur.

A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
