Six Sauropod Teeth. Sauropods were the largest dinosaurs that ever lived growing to over 100 feet long. These behemoths were plant eating giants with small heads and extremely long necks. Rebbachisaurus was a 100 million year old 70 foot long sauropod found in the Sahara desert of Africa. What distinguishes the titanosaur from the other sauropods is that it had tall spines on its back which may have supported a hump or sail. It was similar to some other titanosaurs from South America that offers support that South America and Africa were still joined together at this time. These six peg-like teeth are 1.5-2 inches long which is large for sauropods. These teeth were used to just rip vegetation from the branches of trees and were not made for chewing as the greens were just swallowed whole. This collection is housed in a 8 x 12 inch Riker mount.
