AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fossil. An Abelisaurid dinosaur tooth.

Fossil: This perfectly preserved tooth comes from a theropod belonging to the Abelisauridae, a group of carnivorous dinosaurs. They were characterized by their extremely small forelimbs, short, deep snouts, small sharp teeth, and strong muscular hind limbs.

This tooth comes from an as-yet undescribed Abelisaurid species from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco.

So far, presumably only two Abelisaurid species have been found in Morocco's Kem Kem Beds. An Abelisaurid (Rugops primus) was named after the Echkar Formation in Niger.

Cretaceous, Cenomanian, about 100 million years ago

This tooth bears very sharp, fine serrations along both margins.

Fossil length: about 15 mm

Locality: Kem Kem Beds, Morocco

The find originates from a collection liquidation
