Description
7″ Genuine Spinosaurus Dinosaur Tooth Fossil – Kem Kem Beds, Tegana Formation, Aptian Stage, Cretaceous: Kem Kem Basin, Morocco
A truly colossal fossil specimen — this 7-inch Spinosaurus tooth is a rare and highly desirable piece from one of the largest known theropod dinosaurs. It originates from the world-renowned Kem Kem Beds in the Tegana Formation, within the Kem Kem Basin of southeastern Morocco. This fossil dates back to the Aptian stage of the Early Cretaceous, approximately 113 to 100 million years ago.
Fossil Type & Species:
- Type: Vertebrate Fossil (Tooth – Crown Specimen)
- Species: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus
- Order: Theropoda
- Superfamily: Megalosauroidea
- Family: Spinosauridae
- First Described By: Ernst Stromer, German palaeontologist, 1915
Geological Details:
- Formation: Tegana Formation
- Beds: Kem Kem Beds
- Geological Stage: Aptian (Early Cretaceous)
- Biozone: Kem Kem Compound Assemblage Zone
- Depositional Environment: Dynamic fluvial and deltaic ecosystem composed of ancient rivers, floodplains, and lakebeds. This region preserved a rich diversity of both aquatic and terrestrial prehistoric life in iron-rich sedimentary deposits.
Morphology & Features: This magnificent tooth features all the distinctive traits of a Spinosaurus specimen:
- Elongated conical shape — adapted for grasping slippery aquatic prey
- Non-serrated edges — unlike most other theropod dinosaurs
- Vertical enamel ridges along the shaft
- Fossilised colour tones of deep red, brown, ochre, and sand hues
- Excellent crown preservation with tapering natural tip and broken base at the root
Notable: Spinosaurus aegyptiacus is believed to be the largest theropod dinosaur ever discovered — potentially surpassing even Tyrannosaurus rex in length. With a crocodilian skull, tall neural spines forming a sail, and adaptations for a semi-aquatic lifestyle, it remains one of the most fascinating dinosaurs known to science.
Teeth of this impressive size (7 inches) are exceptionally rare and highly collectible. Most specimens this large are found only in museum collections.
