AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Scientific name: Unidentified Iguanodontian (ornithopod dinosaur) - cf Elrhazosaurus - Lurdusaurus - Ouranosaurus Dinosaur Tooth
Location: Gadoufaoua, Téneré Desert, Niger.
Geological Formation: Erlhaz Fm
Age: Lower Cretaceous, Aptian/Albian stage ( 113 million years)
Size: 3,3cm
REF.: #S576
DESCRIPTION:
Iguanodontian dinosaurs from the Early Cretaceous of Niger, specifically within the Elrhaz Formation (Gadoufaoua deposits), include the prominent sail-backed Ouranosaurus nigeriensis and the heavily built Lurdusaurus arenatus. Another basal iguanodontian, Elrhazosaurus nigeriensis, is known from isolated fossils found in the region.
Ouranosaurus nigeriensis: Named by Philippe Taquet in 1976, this 7–8.3 meter long herbivore is known for the, likely, heat-regulating or display-oriented sail on its back formed by long neural spines.
Lurdusaurus arenatus: Described as having a "massively-constructed" body, this iguanodontian had a unique, almost sloth-like body form compared to other members of its group.
Elrhazosaurus nigeriensis: Originally thought to be a species of Valdosaurus, this basal iguanodontian is known from fragmentary remains.
These dinosaurs thrived in what is now the Sahara Desert during the Aptian stage (approx. 115–105 million years ago).
Observations: With only one isolated tooth, it is very difficult to arrive at a precise taxonomic ID. The morphology of this tooth undoubtedly belongs to an Iguanodontian. It belong to an adult individual since it has a quite well developed feeding wear. Not restored or glued.
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. If you find that your certificate has not yet been updated, please contact us and we will update it immediately. Display box included.
Seller's Story
Jurassic Dreams is the world's largest online dinosaur fossils store, unrivaled as the most reputable source for authentic fossil specimens. We are the only leading online fossils store owned by an accredited geologist and paleontology expert. In addition, we have extraordinary authentic meteorites specimens from all over the universe.
With dozens of different specimens in stock... our customers come back time and again. Because, simply put, our lifetime guarantee is unbeatable.
My name is Juan A. Poblador and I have a strong academic background in Paleontology and Geology from the University of Madrid and University of Alicante. I have participated in fossil excavation projects in several locations mainly in Europe and Africa for over 10 years. Writing scientifically accurate descriptions of every specimen is one of the tasks that consume most of my time. Obviously, recognizing fake and restored fossils is second nature to me. So you can be sure that every fossil in this website has been carefully screened and inspected by me.
I have served collectors and fossil enthusiasts over the years. I have also supplied museums and institutions. I combine the study and research of significant specimens with exhibiting and selling the many other finds, which helps fund the new expeditions.
Additionally, I have a small team of support staff for logistics. I've personally trained them to handle and pack the fossils properly so that they can be shipped within 24 hours and arrive at your door in one piece.
Last but not least, I'm fortunate to have a great network of other seasoned paleontologists with whom I discuss the rarest items, new discoveries, and exploration trips to remote quarries... If I don't know something, the paleontological community really helps out.
I like to manage Jurassic Dreams as a well curated online exhibition of museum grade pieces. I'm a collector myself and I love to share the knowledge with other fellow collectors. That's why I will respond to any email when you have any doubt or when you buy, and you'll have a personalized fossil selection experience.
