AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Scientific name: Ouranosaurus nigeriensis, (Taquet, 1976) - Basal Hadrosauriform - Iguanodontian
Location: Gadoufaoua, Téneré Desert, Niger.
Geological Formation: Erlhaz Fm
Age: Lower Cretaceous, Aptian/Albian stage ( 113 million years)
Size: 1,8cm
REF.: #J1039
DESCRIPTION:
An exceptional authentic tooth of Ouranosaurus nigeriensis, a distinctive herbivorous ornithopod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous of Niger. The specimen displays remarkably well-preserved enamel, retaining fine surface detail and natural dark coloration. Particularly noteworthy is the presence of clearly visible feeding wear, an original biological feature produced during the animal’s lifetime and direct evidence of the tooth’s functional use in processing vegetation.
Ouranosaurus nigeriensis is principally associated with the Elrhaz Formation of the Gadoufaoua region, Agadez, Niger, dating to the Early Cretaceous, approximately 125–112 million years ago (Aptian–Albian). These deposits preserve one of Africa’s most celebrated Cretaceous vertebrate assemblages.
Compared with the abundant isolated teeth of several predatory dinosaurs from North African fossil deposits, well-preserved Ouranosaurus teeth are considerably less commonly encountered on the collector market. The combination of excellent enamel preservation, identifiable morphology and pronounced natural feeding wear makes this an especially attractive specimen, offering both scientific interest and strong display appeal.
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.
