2.71" Dinosaur-Eating Crocodile (Sarcosuchus) Tooth - Niger

Comes with a floating frame display case.

Sarcosuchus was a massive crocodylomorph from the early Cretaceous of North Africa and South America, about 133-112 million years ago. Not a true crocodilian, Sarcosuchus was a member of the crocodylomorpha known as pholidosaurs. Pholidosaurs were similar to modern crocodilians, and are distinguished by their longer and narrower snouts. Additionally, Sarcosuchus was notable for the pronounced bony knob at the end of its snout. Called a bulla, these knobs are similar to those seen in modern crocodilian species. But unlike modern gharials, in which the bulla denotes sex, they are found in every known Sarcosuchus specimen. Sarcosuchus weighed approximately 4.5 tons and measured about 30 feet in length. Unlike its relatives, it was likely a generalist predator, eating any animal unlucky enough to find itself between its jaws.
