Spinosaurus tooth, 4.44 inches

Spinosaurus means ‘spine lizard’. These aquatic/ possibly terrestrial dinosaurs lived throughout the Cretaceous Period, in what is now known as Morocco. Spinosaurus was the largest of all known carnivorous dinosaurs, even bigger than T.rex! It had huge spines on its back, some as big as 7 feet long, which were extensions of its vertebrae. The mouth was filled with varying sizes of teeth, which were most likely shed when they wore out. Offered here is a large tooth, 4.44 inches long and 1.1 inches wide at the base. The tooth has almost all of its enamel and an original root and has been repaired.
