AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Species: Carcharodontosaurus saharicus
Superorder: Dinosauria
Order: Saurischia
Suborder: Theropoda
Infraorder: Carnosauria
Family: Allosauridae
Dimensions: height 9 cm (3.54331 inches), width 3 cm (1.1811 inches).
Body length of approximately 12.5 meters (492.126 inches).
Tegana Formation, Ksar-Es-Souk, Morocco
The La Tegana Formation is mentioned in several peer-reviewed articles, including The Dinosauria, The Princeton Field Guide to Dinosaurs, and it also has an entry in the Paleobiology Database.
The stratigraphic level of these specimens is Albian or Cenomanian. This is the general age of the outcropping layers in this area, the age of the Tegana Formation in the Ksar es Souk region, where isolated teeth of Spinosauridae were found, and the Carcharodontosaurus biostratigraphic level.

University of California Press, 861 pages.

Princeton University Press, 320 pages.
It is established that, in the future, it will become increasingly difficult to obtain legally exported fossils of Carcharodontosaurus from Morocco, as some of them are already classified as cultural heritage and should therefore remain in the country.
Such large and well-preserved claws are a true rarity among collectors and even among dinosaur fossil museums, and they represent one of the highlights of any collection.
Item obviously unavailable.
