AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An exceptional specimen from the species Spinosaurus maroccanus, this beautifully preserved tooth originates from the renowned Kem Kem Beds of southeastern Morocco, dating back to the Cretaceous period (approximately 100 million years ago).
The tooth displays well-defined enamel ridges, natural colour variation and a notably robust structure. As is common with Spinosaurus teeth from this formation, complete examples are extremely difficult to obtain due to the fragile way they weather out of the sediment. In this case, the tooth’s original tip — present but naturally detached — has been expertly and discreetly reattached. This careful restoration allows the specimen to be appreciated at its full, authentic length without altering its integrity.
A genuine and striking piece of prehistoric history, ideal for collectors, educational use or anyone fascinated by the ancient world.
