Dinosaur - Fossil tooth - Abelisaurus - 19 mm - 7 mm

Fossil. An Abelisaurid dinosaur tooth.

Fossil: This perfectly preserved very large tooth comes from a theropod of the Abelisauridae, a group of meat-eating dinosaurs. They were recognizable by their extremely short forelimbs, short, deep faces, small sharp teeth, and strongly muscled 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.
Ob. Kreide Cenomanium ca. 100 Mill.Jahre

This tooth has a very sharp, fine serration along both edges.

Length of fossil: ca. 19 mm

Locality: Kem-Kem Beds, Morocco

The find originates from a collection dispersal
