Description

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

An extraordinary and museum-grade fossil, this 7.5-inch Spinosaurus tooth is among the largest and most display-worthy dinosaur teeth found in the fossil record. It comes from Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, a giant sail-backed predator and one of the largest known theropod dinosaurs. This specimen originates from the Kem Kem Beds of the Tegana Formation, located within the Kem Kem Basin, southeastern Morocco, and dates to the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous, approximately 113–100 million years ago.

Fossil Type & Species:

• Type: Vertebrate Fossil (Tooth – Crown Specimen)
• Species: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus
• Order: Theropoda
• Superfamily: Megalosauroidea
• Family: Spinosauridae
• Formally Described By: Ernst Stromer, German palaeontologist, in 1915

Geological Details:

• Formation: Tegana Formation
• Beds: Kem Kem Beds
• Geological Stage: Aptian (Early Cretaceous)
• Age: ~113–100 million years ago
• Biozone: Kem Kem Compound Assemblage Zone
• Depositional Environment: Fluvial-deltaic environment of rivers, lakes, and floodplains. This dynamic ecosystem was home to a rich diversity of aquatic and terrestrial life and preserved fossils within fine, iron-rich sediments.

Morphology & Features: This stunning fossil tooth displays hallmark features of Spinosaurid anatomy:

• Conical and slightly flattened profile for grasping slippery aquatic prey
• Smooth enamel surface with longitudinal ridges, lacking serrations — unique to Spinosaurus
• Coloration includes rich fossil browns, ochres, and reddish mineralisation
• Excellent crown integrity with a natural tapering point and stable fossilised surface

Notable: Teeth over 7 inches from Spinosaurus aegyptiacus are exceptionally rare and command significant interest from museums and serious collectors. As a semi-aquatic predator with adaptations for both land and water, Spinosaurus was unlike any other dinosaur, and its teeth reflect its specialised piscivorous (fish-eating) diet.
