Scientific name: Suchomimus tenerensis, (Sereno et al, 1998) - Spinosaurid Dinosaur - Set of 2 teeth. Location: Gadoufaoua, Téneré Desert, Niger. Geological Formation: Erlhaz Fm Age: Lower Cretaceous, Aptian/Albian stage ( 113 million years) Size (the biggest): 4cm REF.: #S349 DESCRIPTION: The genus Suchomimus, has teeth with Baryonyx- Spinosaurid type morphology, in fact they are the ancestors of the Spinosaurids of the Upper Cretaceous and contemporaries with his brother the Baryonyx genus. It is very common to find Spinosaurus teeth on the market from the abundant upper cretaceous outcrops of southern Morocco (Ifezouane Formation). But the genus Suchomimus only can be found in the Lower Cretaceous outcrops from Erlhaz Formation in the Teneré desert in Niger. These are much less abundant and quite rare fossils. Here we present you the opportunity to get authentic teeth of the Suchomimus genus. There are actually two species of baryonychine spinosaurid currently recognized from this formation: Suchomimus tenerensis and Cristatusaurus lapparenti, though the latter is potentially not a valid species. Observations: Attractive lot of 2 truly well preserved Suchomimus teeth. Their state of preservation is exceptional. Only one of them has a glued but not restored fracture. They even retain a small portion of their root. Their enamel is incredibly beautiful, and all of them exhibit the characteristic longitudinal ridges of this Spinosaurid dinosaur species. This is a very attractive lot for both expert collectors and those just starting out in the fascinating world of dinosaurs. All of our fossils come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
