AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fossil. An Abelisaurus dinosaur tooth.
Fossil: This perfectly preserved tooth comes from a theropod belonging to the group of Abelisaurs, a group of carnivorous dinosaurs. They were characterized by their extremely small forearms, short, deep faces, small sharp teeth, and powerful muscular hind legs.
This tooth comes from a yet undescribed Abelisaurian species from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco.
So far, only two Abelisaurian species have likely been found in Morocco's Kem Kem Beds. One Abelisaurian (Rugops primus) was named after the Echkar Formation in Niger.
Upper Chalk of the Cenomanian, approximately 100 million years ago.
This tooth has very sharp, fine notches on both edges.
Fossil length approximately 23 mm
Location: Kem-Kem Beds, Morocco
Fund comes from a collection liquidation.
