AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

*All of our pieces include official certification*

Scientific Name:
Theropoda indet.

Location:
Kem Kem Valley, Morocco

Period:
Late Cretaceous (~100 Ma)

Size:
Approximately 3.8 cm

Description of the fossil:
Impressive large carnivorous theropod tooth from the legendary Kem Kem Valley, a region where new dinosaurs and still undescribed lineages continually emerge.
This specimen features a powerful morphology, with a well-defined serration and enamel of very good quality, making it an especially striking piece.
Given the taxonomic dynamism of the Kem Kem, this tooth could belong to a theropod not yet formally recognized, offering a unique opportunity to own a fossil potentially associated with a future new species.
Natural, solid piece with a strong presence, ideal for collectors seeking singular specimens with emerging scientific value.
