DESCRIPTION:
The genus Suchomimus, has teeth with Baryonyx- Spinosaurid type morphology, in fact they are the ancestors of the Spinosaurids of the Upper Cretaceous and contemporaries with his brother the Baryonyx genus. It is very common to find Spinosaurus teeth on the market from the abundant upper cretaceous outcrops of southern Morocco (Ifezouane Formation). But the genus Suchomimus only can be found in the Lower Cretaceous outcrops from Erlhaz Formation in the Teneré desert in Niger. These are much less abundant and quite rare fossils. Here we present you the opportunity to get authentic teeth of the Suchomimus genus. There are actually two species of baryonychine spinosaurid currently recognized from this formation: Suchomimus tenerensis and Cristatusaurus lapparenti, though the latter is potentially not a valid species.

Observations: This is a very special lot. It consists of two enormous Suchomimus teeth, belonging to an adult specimen. It is quite uncommon to find Suchomimus teeth of this size. Both still retain part of their natural root. And their enamel is also quite well preserved on one side of them, displaying very attractive dark and greenish tones. Both also exhibit the characteristic longitudinal ridges of this species from the Spinosauridae family. Both of them have some fractures that have been glued, and just slightly filled.

All of our fossils come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Every week, the issued Certificates of Authenticity are updated in our database verification system on our website.
