Unearthed in the continental intercalaire, a significant 154mm Spinosaurus tooth highlights 19 million years of evolutionary prowess. Known for its sail-like dorsal fin, potent jaws, the Spinosaurus was an adept predator with specialised hunting capabilities. Its agility and intricate design surpassed similar-sized dinosaurs, making it highly successful in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Despite its effectiveness, Spinosaurus specimens are relatively rare in discoveries, amplifying their appeal among researchers and collectors eager to delve into the mysteries of this colossal predator from the past given the relatively rare discoveries, amplifying a desirability among researchers and collectors alike.

CONDITION

Showcases remarkable morphology from root to tip. Condition: A natural break area has been professionally filled and colour-matched, which is reflected in the asking price. Without these restorations, this specimen would command a higher value for it's enamel quality and magnificent size. Life wear in the Spinosaurus's jaw has led to enamel loss at the crown apical tip. A chance to invest in a prestigious Spinosaurus tooth, a relic from a ferocious aquatic theropod dinosaur that once ruled the cretaceous waterways, overall, a truly good specimen.
