Thick 3.01 Inch Carcharodontosaurus Tooth
This is a large 3.01 inch long tooth from the gigantic, meat-eating, theropod dinosaur, Carcharodontosaurus. Often referred to as the "Moroccan T-Rex", this monster is one of the largest know theropod dinosaurs.
This tooth is nicely shaped, very thick and most of serrations on BOTH edges are in decent shape. Unfortunately the very tip of the tooth is missing. You'll notice that the white core of the tooth shows through. The interior of these teeth is while because it's been replaced by a phosphate based mineral.
Like most Carcharodontosaurus teeth on the market there are some repairs and restoration. There a couple of gap fills on the tooth and some patches of missing enamel where the white interior of the tooth shows through. This restoration is why such a impressive theropod tooth is being offered at an affordable price.
The tooth comes with a riker mount display case to show it off.

About Carcharodontosaurus
Carcharodontosaurus comprised a genus of dinosaurs that dominated the land during the mid-Cretaceous Period, between 100-93 million years ago. This genus currently includes two gigantic species, which were among the largest known predatory dinosaurs. They were immense as the genera Tyrannosaurus and Giganotosaurus, but not as colossal as Spinosaurus.
Along with the spinosaurids, carcharodontosaurids were the largest predators in the early and middle Cretaceous throughout Gondwana, with species also present in North America (Acrocanthosaurus), and Asia (Shaochilong). Various scientists submit length estimates for C. saharicus, ranging between 12 and 13 m (39-43.5 ft) and weight estimates between 6 and 15 metric tons.
Carcharodontosaurids were a scourge of the land as giant, shark-toothed terrors in a world of monsters. Though spinosaurids would have been a formidable enemy, they may have occupied a semi-aquatic niche, which reduced competition. Both giant hunters also shared their world with menacing, 30-foot ancient crocodiles that had a taste for dinosaur.
Past the Turonian (93.9-89.8 mya), Carcharodontosaurus might have been replaced by the smaller abelisaurids in Gondwana and by tyrannosaurids in North America and Asia. The disappearance of carcharodontosaurids, spinosaurids, and other fauna in Gondwana and across the world suggests a global replacement event. Despite the event, fossils discovered in Brazil, which appear to be carcharodontosaurids, indicate some survivors of this group until the latest stage of the Cretaceous.
