Theropod - 化石歯 - Megalosaurid indet. - 4.8 cm - 2 cm
Specimen: Megalosaurid indet. (likely Afrovenator sp.)
Period: Middle Jurassic (Bathonian/Oxfordian)
Formation: Tiourarén Formation
Locality: Agadez Region, Niger
Details:
This is a rare theropod tooth from the Tiourarén Formation of Niger. Based on the robust morphology, this specimen is likely attributable to Afrovenator, a well-known megalosaurid theropod from the region.
What makes this specimen truly exceptional is the presence of split carinae—an unusual feature where the serrations bifurcate. This is a rare, distinct trait that is highly sought after by collectors of specialized theropod material.
Dimensions: 4.8 x 2 x 1.5 cm
Condition: A large, impressive specimen. The tip has been reattached and the entire piece has been consolidated with Paraloid B72 for stabilization. It remains in otherwise natural condition with excellent detail.
