1.15" Fossil Sauropod Dinosaur (Titanosaur) Tooth - Morocco
This is a 1.15" long tooth from a Moroccan titanosaur that is currently unidentified. It comes from the Late Cretaceous, Kem Kem Beds of Morocco, home to such meat eating giants as Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus.
Comes with a floating frame display case.
The Kem Kem Group is famous for yielding a diverse Late Cretaceous vertebrate assemblage, including fish, reptiles, and dinosaurs such as Spinosaurus. These fossils are found in a thin bed that outcrops around the edge of a large plateau near Taouz, Morocco. Local miners collect these fossils by digging narrow tunnels by hand into this plateau, following the layer.
