Huge Spinosaurus Dinosaur Tooth. Made famous in "Jurassic Park III" as the dinosaur that killed a T-Rex, the enormous 80 million year old theropod dinosaur Spinosaurus with a huge sail on its back remains an enigmatic dinosaur as no skeleton even remotely complete has been found and the only partial skeleton was destroyed in World War II. Spinosaurus is mostly known from its teeth which are fairly common but usually less than two inches long, broken, and ugly. This huge 6.75 inch tooth is the exception having lovely brown colored enamel and a large section of cream colored root. This tooth was found in two pieces with the top two inches of the tip being reattached with some minimal restoration. The real tip may have come from another specimen of Spinosaurus but there is a good color match and still this is one of the largest Spinosaurus or any therosaur teeth known. The enamel of the tooth with tip is 4.5 inches long with a 2.25 inch root section. This rare dinosaur teeth was found in the Kem Kem Valley near Taouz, Morocco (near the border with Algeria). This huge tooth comes with a 2 inch illusion stand for display.
