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 5-inch genuine Spinosaurus dinosaur tooth fossil is presented as a rooted fossil specimen from the Kem Kem Basin of Morocco. Its identification and geological setting make it an appealing addition to collections focused on theropod dinosaurs, North African palaeontology and Upper Cretaceous fossils. The rooted presentation adds visual interest for collectors who appreciate fossil teeth with preserved attachment features.

Geological Origin

The specimen is associated with the Kem Kem Beds and Tegana Formation of Morocco. These deposits are assigned to the Upper Cretaceous, specifically the Cenomanian stage. The Kem Kem Basin is internationally recognised for its important fossil record of Cretaceous vertebrates from North Africa, making fossils from this region popular with dinosaur collectors and students of palaeontology.

About Spinosaurus

Spinosaurus was a large theropod dinosaur known from Cretaceous North Africa. It belongs to one of the most distinctive dinosaur lineages, and its fossils are particularly notable in discussions of theropod evolution, adaptation and ancient aquatic environments. Spinosaurus material is highly sought after because it represents a scientifically important dinosaur from a region with a rich and varied Cretaceous fossil record.

Collector Appeal

A rooted Spinosaurus tooth offers strong display appeal while also providing an accessible example of dinosaur fossil material. It can be exhibited in a fossil cabinet, educational collection, natural history display or dinosaur-themed interior. The combination of the Spinosaurus identification, Moroccan Kem Kem Basin origin, Tegana Formation association and Cenomanian age gives the piece clear geological and palaeontological interest.

The 5-inch size makes the tooth a substantial display specimen. Full sizing is shown in the photographs. The photograph shows the actual specimen you will receive.

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

The certificate provides accompanying documentation for the specimen and makes this fossil suitable for collectors who value authenticated natural history material. It also adds presentation value when the tooth is given as a gift or displayed as part of a curated dinosaur fossil collection.

Display and Gift Ideas

This Spinosaurus tooth fossil is suitable for dinosaur enthusiasts, fossil collectors, geology students, museum-style displays and anyone interested in the ancient ecosystems of Cretaceous Morocco. Its distinctive identification and documented geological context make it an engaging conversation piece for a home office, study, classroom or display cabinet. The specimen may also be used as an educational aid when discussing dinosaur fossils, geological formations, fossil collecting and the Upper Cretaceous history of North Africa.
