AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Carcharodontosaurus saharicus tooth, from one of the largest predatory dinosaurs ever to have lived on Earth.
100% natural tooth, unrestored.
Carcharodontosaurus (whose name means “shark-toothed lizard”) was a large carnivorous theropod dinosaur that lived in the Late Cretaceous (around 100–94 million years ago, during the Cenomanian) in northwestern Africa. It was an enormous theropod dinosaur, comparable in size to Tyrannosaurus rex, known for its long, serrated teeth designed for slicing flesh.
Each fossil tooth displays the species’ classic blade-like shape, with the natural texture of the enamel and visible serrations, making it an extraordinary collector’s piece: every tooth is unique, formed and fossilized over millions of years.
It measured between 12 and 13.7 meters in length and is estimated to have weighed around 5–8 tonnes.
Based on the tooth’s size, the skull is presumed to have been over 1.5 meters long.
A truly incredible piece in terms of shape and rarity.
Truly splendid.
