Carcharodontosaurus saharicus Tooth, 4½ Inches Long. Size does matter in dinosaur teeth. Even though Carcharodontosaurus saharicus was larger than a T-Rex, most of the teeth found are only 1½-2½ inches long. This magnificent brown tooth has most of its enamel present, with only slight cracks, which are nearly always present. Its sharp serrations are nearly complete on both sides of the tooth. This shed tooth would be more than one foot long if its root were still attached. Carcharondontosaurus teeth are found in the Sahara desert, Morocco, and are older than T-Rex at 70-80 million years old. The tooth is housed in a 4½ x 5½ in. Ryker mount. A tooth this size with a perfect tip is usually seen only in a museum. Allow $20 for shipping.
Estimated Value $900 - 1,400.
