Dinosaur - Fossil tooth - Spinosaurus - 7.3 cm - 2.5 cm

→7.3 cm long x 2.5 cm wide at the widest point It is a nice and thick teeth with natural shine to it of the iconic Spinosaurus from lower Cretaceous around ~95 Million years ago. The teeth is in natural state. The top of teeth shows feeding and usage signs as enamel is bit worn off. There is nice red section at the root region of the teeth probably due to presence iron compounds during fossilization process. Usually the big and thick teeth of the Spinosaurus are towards the front and in the pre-maxilla region of the mouth while the teeth in the back are thinner and smaller compared to the front teeth. This teeth is possibly those in front of the mouth to best of our guess. Most of the enamel of the teeth is present with the underside of the root giving the hint of how it was attached before being shed by the Spinosaurus. Overall its a very nice specimen and is in natural state. Detailed photos have been provided for reference.
