AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fossil. An Abelisaurid dinosaur tooth.

Fossil: This perfectly preserved, very large tooth comes from a theropod of the Abelisaurid group, a group of carnivorous dinosaurs. They were recognizable by their extremely small forelimbs, short, deep snouts, small sharp teeth, and strong muscular hind legs.

This tooth comes from an as-yet undescribed Abelisaurid species from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco.

So far, probably 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.
Era: Cretaceous, Cenomanian, about 100 million years ago

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

Length of the fossil: approx. 20 mm

Locality: Kem Kem Beds, Morocco

The find comes from a collection dispersal.
