Scientific name: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus - Rooted Tooth Location: Taouz, South Morocco Geological Formation: Ifezouane Fm - KemKem Red Sandstone Beds Age: Upper Cretaceous, Cenomanian stage ( 96 million years) Size: 15,6 cm REF.: #J662 DESCRIPTION: Observations: Stunning enormous huge partially rooted tooth. It has some restorations along fractures it suffered during excavation. These restorations basically consist of filling the fractures. In this case, the root its fully authentic and not composite. The fractures have been glued and filled, but unlike other cases, the root its real. About restorations and filled fractures: This is a typical technique used by local excavators to restore teeth. It's not a professional technique, and it leaves much to be desired. In this specimen, the main restorations have been carried out on the tip fractures along the crown. Anyway, its an amazing good authentic example of the enormous dentition of this huge piscivorous dinosaur that reigned during the Cretaceous period in the ecosystems of what is now North Africa.
