AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Scientific name: Afrovenator abakensis, Sereno et al. 1994 - Megalosaurid - Set of 2 Restored Teeth
Location: Tiouraren Hill, Téneré Desert, Niger.
Geological Formation: Tiouraren Fm
Age: Middle Jurassic, Bathonian stage ( 167 million years)
Size: 5,4 cm (The Biggest)
REF.: S372
DESCRIPTION:
Afrovenator ("African hunter") is a genus of megalosaurid theropod dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic Period of northern Africa. The remains of Afrovenator were discovered in 1993 in the Tiourarén Formation of the department of Agadez in Niger.
The Tiourarén Formation is a geological formation in the Agadez Region of Niger whose strata were originally thought to be Early Cretaceous. However, re-interpretation of the sediments showed that they are probably Middle Jurassic (Bathonian) in age. It is the uppermost unit of the Irhazer Group. Dinosaur remains are among the fossils that have been recovered from the formation.
Observations: The teeth are of considerable size, at least one of them. They still preserve their carina (serrations) quite well. The color of their enamel is also very striking, being an orange-yellow. Unfortunately, the diggers broke them during their extraction and subsequently restored them using a somewhat precarious filling method. Be that as it may, it remains a very interesting lot with two large and authentic examples of the dentition of this enormous theropod dinosaur from the Middle Jurassic.
All our fossils come with Certificate of Authenticity. Every week, the issued Certificates of Authenticity are updated in our website database verification system. If you find that your certificate has not yet been updated, please contact us and we will update it immediately. Display box included.
