An impressive 95mm Carcharodontosaurus saharicus dinosaur tooth, known as the North African Tyrannosaurus rex for its formidable size. A noteworthy discovery from the Northern African landscape, where this exotic theropod dinosaur roamed the Late Cretaceous landscapes. Recognised for its immense size and fearsome predatory nature, this apex predator inhabited the Continental Intercalaire of Northern Africa. With a robust build, serrated teeth, and a commanding presence, Carcharodontosaurus saharicus held a significant role in the Late Cretaceous ecosystems, showcasing the diversity of large theropods during that era.

CONDITION

This large and complete Carcharodontosaurus tooth underwent conservation, primarily to the midsection. It displays life dentin wear at the tip, while the preserved enamel/dentin-surface patination showcases dark mahogany tones. The serrations, worn through a long life in the jaw, are evident. The consolidation process has resulted in a stout, in-hand feel, making it a superb example of Carcharodontosaurus. The midsection features excellent, sympathetic restoration. The tonal palette is influenced by minerals and aeons of deposition in the Cretaceous fossil bed layer.
