Nice Fossil Crocodile Tooth - Cretaceous

Here is nicely preserved .8" long fossil crocodile tooth from the Cretaceous sediments of the Kem Kem Basin. This came from a large crocodile that was living alongside dinosaurs such as Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. The tooth is in awesome shape with beautiful enamel preservation. It comes in an acrylic case.

Many dealers labeling similar teeth as coming from sarcosuchus (The Super Croc) to make them easier to sell. There were several crocodile species living alongside each other in the Kem Kem Basin. Unless the tooth is super sized (>2 inches) there really is no way of definitively assigning it to Sarcosuchus.
