4.5″ Genuine Spinosaurus Dinosaur Tooth Fossil – Kem Kem Beds, Tegana Formation, Aptian Stage, Cretaceous: Kem Kem Basin, Morocco

This magnificent 4.5-inch fossilised tooth belonged to Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, one of the most unique and largest theropod dinosaurs ever discovered. Unearthed from the famous Kem Kem Beds within the Tegana Formation of the Kem Kem Basin in southeastern Morocco, this specimen originates from the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous, dating back approximately 113 to 100 million years.

Fossil Type & Species:

  • Type: Vertebrate Fossil (Tooth – crown specimen)
  • Species: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus
  • Order: Theropoda
  • Superfamily: Megalosauroidea
  • Family: Spinosauridae
  • Formally Identified By: German palaeontologist Ernst Stromer in 1915

Geological Details:

  • Formation: Tegana Formation
  • Beds: Kem Kem Beds
  • Geological Stage: Aptian (Early Cretaceous)
  • Biozone: Kem Kem Compound Assemblage Zone
  • Depositional Environment: Fluvial to deltaic ecosystem — characterized by ancient river channels, seasonal floodplains, and coastal lakes, ideal for preserving dinosaur remains in fine-grained sediments

Morphology & Features: This sizeable Spinosaurus tooth exhibits:

  • Conical shape with slightly flattened sides — ideal for catching slippery prey like fish
  • Smooth enamel surface with faint vertical ridges

  • Impressive crown preservation with natural wear patterns, giving it a prehistoric authenticity

Notable: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus is believed to be the only large theropod adapted for a semi-aquatic lifestyle. Its sail-like back, crocodile-like snout, and piscivorous diet make it a subject of great palaeontological interest. A fossil tooth of this size (4.5″) is an extraordinary acquisition for any fossil enthusiast, museum, or educational collection.

Description

Spinosaurus Dinosaur Tooth Fossil

This 4.5-inch genuine Spinosaurus dinosaur tooth fossil is a distinctive addition to a fossil collection, natural history display or dinosaur-themed interior. The specimen is identified as Spinosaurus and associated with the Kem Kem Beds of the Tegana Formation in the Kem Kem Basin, Morocco. It dates to the Upper Cretaceous, specifically the Cenomanian stage.

Geological Identification

The Kem Kem Beds are widely known for producing important Late Cretaceous vertebrate fossils from North Africa. The Tegana Formation forms part of this fossil-bearing geological setting in Morocco. The Cenomanian is an interval of the Upper Cretaceous, a period when many diverse dinosaur groups inhabited the ancient landscapes and waterways of the region.

Spinosaurus was a large theropod dinosaur recognised in palaeontology for its highly specialised anatomy and close association with ancient aquatic environments. As a dinosaur tooth fossil, this specimen represents one of the most recognisable fossil categories for collectors interested in theropods, predatory dinosaurs and Cretaceous vertebrate life. Its identification makes it especially appealing to collectors building displays focused on Spinosaurus, North African fossils or Mesozoic palaeontology.

Collector Display and Educational Interest

A Spinosaurus tooth fossil offers a tangible connection to the Upper Cretaceous and the ancient ecosystems represented by the Kem Kem Basin. It can be displayed in a fossil cabinet, used as an educational conversation piece, or incorporated into a collection of dinosaur teeth and vertebrate fossils. The specimen is suitable for collectors who value identifiable geological context, as well as for dinosaur enthusiasts interested in the fossil record of Morocco.

The combination of Spinosaurus identification, Kem Kem Beds location, Tegana Formation association and Cenomanian age provides useful context for catalogue records and display labels. These details also make the specimen relevant to collections covering theropod dinosaurs, Upper Cretaceous geology, Moroccan fossils and palaeontological history.
