About This Fossil
An exceptional opportunity to own a genuine tooth from one of the largest terrestrial predators ever to walk the Earth. This authentic Carcharodontosaurus tooth measures approximately 35 mm in length and originates from the renowned Kem Kem Group deposits of the Moroccan Sahara. Dating to the Cretaceous Period, some 110 million years ago, this specimen represents the fearsome weaponry of the 'shark-toothed lizard'—a colossal theropod that rivalled, and perhaps even exceeded, Tyrannosaurus rex in size.
The tooth exhibits a rich, natural brown enamel surface with distinct longitudinal ridges and a characteristic curved profile. In keeping with authentic Moroccan dinosaur fossils, the root is incomplete, but the crown remains beautifully preserved, highlighting the blade-like morphology that allowed this apex predator to dominate its prehistoric ecosystem. Please note that natural wear, mineralisation, small chips, and surface imperfections are present; these are not defects, but rather the genuine hallmarks of a fossilised tooth that has survived millions of years in the desert sands.
Your tooth is supplied professionally housed in a white display case and is accompanied by a detailed identification card. As we photograph each specimen individually, the piece shown in the images is the exact fossil you will receive, ensuring absolute confidence in your purchase.
Formation & Preservation
This fossil was recovered from the famous Kem Kem Group (formerly known as the Kem Kem Beds) of Morocco. During the Late Cretaceous, this region of North Africa was not a desert, but a vast, lush delta system characterized by massive rivers, mangrove swamps, and a highly unusual predator-dominated ecosystem. The rapid deposition of river sediments in this high-energy environment allowed for the exceptional preservation of isolated teeth, bones, and scales, creating one of the world's most significant records of Cretaceous vertebrate life.
What Makes This Specimen Special
Measuring approximately 35 mm, this tooth represents a tangible link to a true giant of the Mesozoic. Unlike cast replicas, this is a genuine biological artifact showing the natural serration paths, enamel texture, and organic variation that make each specimen entirely unique. It is a striking addition to any geological collection or an extraordinary educational gift.
Authenticity & Sourcing
Real vs Replica
- This is a genuine fossil — not a replica unless clearly stated. Clearly described and honestly presented.
- You will receive the exact fossil shown in the photographs.
Ethical Sourcing
- Sourced from established suppliers and known commercial sites — never protected, scientifically significant, or restricted localities. Origin and sourcing information is shared where known.
- ✓We will not knowingly handle fossils removed in breach of any country's heritage or export laws.
Origin & Natural Variation
Stated origin (Sahara Desert, Morocco) and formation (Kem Kem Group) are based on supplier information and available geological references. Identification can vary in certainty — especially for fragments — so where exact locality cannot be independently verified, we describe the formation rather than a single quarry.
Fossils are natural objects. Expect minor variation in colour, matrix, mineralisation, and surface detail. Any known repair, restoration, polishing, or composite material is disclosed in the description — we do not present restored areas as original.
