AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
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): 3,5cm
REF.: #J1032
DESCRIPTION:
Partially rooted as well, both of them. Pristine enamel preservation with only a glued fracture in one of them. Quite decent size. And they look like "brothers teeth".
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 an authentic tooth 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. And also a new recently described Spinosaurus mirabilis.
All of our fossils come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Every week, the issued Certificates of Authenticity are updated in our database verification system on our website. If you find that your certificate has not yet been updated, please contact us and we will update it immediately. Display box included.
Seller's Story
Jurassic Dreams is the world's largest online dinosaur fossils store, unrivaled as the most reputable source for authentic fossil specimens. We are the only leading online fossils store owned by an accredited geologist and paleontology expert. In addition, we have extraordinary authentic meteorites specimens from all over the universe.
With dozens of different specimens in stock... our customers come back time and again. Because, simply put, our lifetime guarantee is unbeatable.
My name is Juan A. Poblador and I have a strong academic background in Paleontology and Geology from the University of Madrid and University of Alicante. I have participated in fossil excavation projects in several locations mainly in Europe and Africa for over 10 years. Writing scientifically accurate descriptions of every specimen is one of the tasks that consume most of my time. Obviously, recognizing fake and restored fossils is second nature to me. So you can be sure that every fossil in this website has been carefully screened and inspected by me.
I have served collectors and fossil enthusiasts over the years. I have also supplied museums and institutions. I combine the study and research of significant specimens with exhibiting and selling the many other finds, which helps fund the new expeditions.
Additionally, I have a small team of support staff for logistics. I've personally trained them to handle and pack the fossils properly so that they can be shipped within 24 hours and arrive at your door in one piece.
Last but not least, I'm fortunate to have a great network of other seasoned paleontologists with whom I discuss the rarest items, new discoveries, and exploration trips to remote quarries... If I don't know something, the paleontological community really helps out.
I like to manage Jurassic Dreams as a well curated online exhibition of museum grade pieces. I'm a collector myself and I love to share the knowledge with other fellow collectors. That's why I will respond to any email when you have any doubt or when you buy, and you'll have a personalized fossil selection experience.
