Carcharodontosaurus Tooth – 1.60" – Kem Kem Beds, Morocco
This is an authentic fossilized tooth from Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, one of the largest and most formidable theropod dinosaurs to ever walk the Earth. These massive carnivores could reach lengths of over 40 feet and possessed powerful jaws filled with blade-like serrated teeth perfectly designed for slicing through flesh. Carcharodontosaurus — meaning "shark-toothed lizard" — was an apex predator that dominated the ancient river systems and coastal environments of North Africa during the Mid-Cretaceous period.
Recovered from the world-famous Kem Kem Beds of Morocco, this specimen dates to approximately 95 to 100 million years ago. The Kem Kem Formation is renowned among paleontologists and collectors for preserving an exceptional diversity of Cretaceous predators, including some of the largest carnivorous dinosaurs ever discovered. These ancient floodplain and deltaic deposits have yielded some of the most sought-after theropod fossils in the world.
