About the Spinosaurus:

The Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, known as the “spine lizard,” is one of the most fascinating dinosaurs ever discovered. It lived approximately 100 to 125 million years ago during the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous period. Spinosaurus is famous for its distinctive sail-like structure on its back and its semi-aquatic lifestyle, making it a unique predator among theropods.

Measuring up to 50-60 feet in length, Spinosaurus is considered one of the largest predatory dinosaurs, surpassing even the Tyrannosaurus rex in size. Its teeth, unlike those of most theropods, were conical and non-serrated, perfectly suited for gripping slippery prey such as fish. Fossils like this one provide a rare glimpse into the life of this extraordinary predator.

Description

Spinosaurus Dinosaur Tooth Fossil

This rare genuine Spinosaurus dinosaur tooth fossil is presented as a fully rooted specimen measuring 5.5 inches. Its substantial rooted presentation makes it an appealing addition to a fossil collection, prehistoric life display, or natural history study. The specimen is identified as Spinosaurus, a scientifically important predatory dinosaur associated with the Cretaceous period of North Africa.

Geological Identification and Age

The fossil comes from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco, within the Tegana Formation. It is attributed to the Upper Cretaceous, specifically the Cenomanian stage. The Kem Kem region is widely recognised for its rich assemblage of Cretaceous vertebrate fossils and is an important source area for dinosaur and other prehistoric remains from North Africa.

Spinosaurus is one of the best-known dinosaurs associated with the Cretaceous fossil record of Morocco. Its fossils are especially significant to collectors interested in theropod dinosaurs, African palaeontology and the ancient ecosystems represented by the Kem Kem Beds. This tooth provides a tangible connection to that geological interval and the fossil-bearing deposits of the Kem Kem Basin.

Specimen Presentation

The tooth is described as fully rooted, preserving the root alongside the visible tooth portion. This makes it particularly interesting for collectors who value specimens that show more complete anatomical preservation rather than an isolated crown alone. The 5.5-inch size gives it a strong visual presence for a cabinet, study shelf or educational display.

The supplied specimen is associated with the Kem Kem Basin in Morocco and the Tegana Formation. Its Upper Cretaceous, Cenomanian age places it within a major interval of dinosaur evolution and diversification. The exact appearance and preservation details should be viewed in the listing photographs, which show the individual specimen offered for purchase.

Collector and Display Interest

This Spinosaurus tooth is suited to fossil collectors, dinosaur enthusiasts, palaeontology students, museum-style display collections and anyone interested in Moroccan Cretaceous geology. It can be displayed as a standalone fossil or incorporated into a broader collection focused on theropods, African fossils, the Kem Kem Beds or Upper Cretaceous specimens.

The combination of Spinosaurus identification, fully rooted preservation, Moroccan locality, Tegana Formation association and Cenomanian age gives the specimen strong educational and collecting appeal. Full sizing is shown in the photographs.

Certificate of Authenticity

This Fossil is a genuine specimen and Includes a fully hand-signed Premium Certificate of Authenticity.
