Theropod - Fossil tand - 7 cm - 3.5 cm
Description
Specimen: Theropod Tooth (Megalosaurid affinity)
Period: Middle Jurassic (Bathonian/Callovian)
Formation: El Mers Formation (El Mers 3)
Locality: Boulmane, Morocco
Details:
Offered is a rare theropod tooth from the El Mers 3 sequence of Morocco. Based on the tooth’s distinct morphology—specifically the robust shape and serration patterns—this specimen shows strong affinity to Torvosaurus. Given that documented theropod remains from this formation are still being researched, this piece likely represents a Megalosaurid taxon that remains formally undescribed in the literature.
This is an uncommon find for the region, making it a significant addition for those interested in Jurassic theropod diversity.
Dimensions:
Tooth size: Approx. 5 x 2 cm
Total size with matrix: Approx. 7 x 3.5 x 3.5 cm
Condition: The tooth remains firmly set in its original matrix. The crown shows good preservation, with visible serration detail.
Conservation: This specimen underwent historical repair by the finder, which is common for fossils from this locality. It has been professionally stabilized with a thin application of adhesive to ensure the integrity of the repair and to protect the long-term structure of the fossil.
