REF.: S188
DESCRIPTION:
The genus Sarcosuchus only can be found in the Lower Cretaceous outcrops from Erlhaz Formation in the Teneré desert in Niger.

Here we present you the opportunity to get an authentic tooth of the gorgeous genuine Sarcosuchus crocodile genus.
Observations: Special tooth with an enormous massive size. Its quite spectacular. Only missing one side of it that its broken. Part of the enamel is already eroded in some areas, and the layer beneath the enamel, called dentin, is visible.
All our fossils come with Certificate of Authenticity. Every week, the issued Certificates of Authenticity are updated in our website database verification system. If you find that your certificate has not yet been updated, please contact us and we will update it immediately. Display box included.
