Scientific name: Suchomimus tenerensis, (Sereno et al, 1998) - Spinosaurid Dinosaur - Set of 2 teeth Location: Gadoufaoua, Téneré Desert, Niger. Geological Formation: Erlhaz Fm Age: Lower Cretaceous, Aptian/Albian stage ( 113 million years) Size (the biggest): 54mm REF.: #S126 DESCRIPTION: Outstanding well preserved specimens. Partially rooted as well, both of them. Pristine enamel preservation with only a clean glued fracture in one of them. Quite large size. And they look like "brothers teeth". 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 an authentic tooth 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. And also a new recently described Spinosaurus mirabilis. 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.
