Carcharodontosaurus saharicus is a carnivorous theropod from Morocco that is popularly referred to as the African T-Rex. This is a high quality example of a lateral maxillary or dentary (upper or lower jaw) tooth with very well defined distal and mesial carinae (forward and backward facing serrated edges) that exhibit minor wear to the denticles. There is a high gloss, dark brown to red patina and no natural wear on the apex of the crown. There does not appear to have been any repair or restoration to the tooth.

It should be noted that it is very difficult to determine tooth position based on the inspection of isolated examples. Therefore we use certain morphological features to suggest general location. A morphological diagram is provided further down the page.

A seldom seen species, and one of the very last dromaeosaurids, surviving to the very end of the Mesozoic era about 66 million years ago.

Dromaeosaurs are feathered carnivorous theropods, popularly referred to as raptors, that thrived during the Cretaceous period. This tooth comes from the Hell Creek Formation, Harding County, South Dakota, and is a nice example of a lateral maxillary or dentary (upper or lower jaw) tooth with some visible denticles along the distal (backward facing serrated edge) carina.

There is evidence of repair where the tip of the crown has been stabilized to correct a break that may have been occurred due to natural erosion prior to the collection of the tooth. This is not uncommon, where teeth have become naturally fragmented as they become exposed to the elements.

Rather than restore the tooth, it is offered here in its originally recovered state which is reflected in the price. This is still a very desirable tooth for any collector. The surface of the tooth has a high gloss, very dark patina.

It should be noted that it is very difficult to determine tooth position based on the inspection of isolated examples. Therefore we use certain morphological features to suggest general location. A morphological diagram is provided further down the page.

Allosaurus was a carnivorous theropod that lived during the Jurassic period. This tooth comes from the Morrison Formation, Moffat County, NW Colorado.

This is a nice example of a lateral maxillary or dentary (upper or lower jaw) tooth with a well defined distal carina (backward facing serrated edge). The tooth has a high gloss, black patina and is offered, as found, in the sandstone matrix which has been stabilized along an existing crack.

There does not appear to have been any repair or restoration to the tooth. It should be noted that it is very difficult to determine tooth position based on the inspection of isolated examples. Therefore we use certain morphological features to suggest general location. A morphological diagram is provided further down the page.

Deltadromeus is a theropod dinosaur from North Africa that is known from a few inarticulate specimens and no skulls. This tooth has been attributed to Deltadromeus and represents a lateral maxillary or dentary (upper or lower jaw) tooth with well defined distal and mesial carinae (forward and backward facing serrated edges) that exhibit some natural wear.

The surface of the tooth has a high gloss, light brown striated patina. There is some wear to the apex of the crown that may be the result of natural toot wear.

There does not appear to have been any repair or restoration to the tooth. It should be noted that it is very difficult to determine tooth position based on the inspection of isolated examples. Therefore we use certain morphological features to suggest general location. A morphological diagram is provided further down the page.

The pterosaur Siroccopteryx, was a huge flying reptile known from a single fragment of upper jaw that was discovered in the Upper Cretaceous Kem Kem beds of Morocco.

This is a nicely shaped high quality tooth with some wear to the enamel. There does not appear to have been any repair or restoration to the tooth. The crown appears to be complete, though it does show some signs of what may be natural wear.

Suchomimus is a spinosaurid dinosaur from the late Cretaceous of Africa that fits somewhere between Baryonyx and Spinosaurus in size. It had a crocodile-like skull suited to a semi-aquatic existance, feeding on fish as well as terrestrail prey.

This is a nice tooth with some wear to the enamal, although the carinae on the edges of the tooth still display some of the denticles. There does not appear to have been any repair or restoration to the tooth. The crown appears to be complete, though it does show some signs of wear.

It should be noted that it is very difficult to determine tooth position based on the inspection of isolated examples. Therefore we use certain morphological features to suggest general location. A morphological diagram is provided further down the page.

A controversial genus of Tyrannosaurid dinosaur that is still in question and may in fact be a Juvenile T-Rex. Nanotyrannus is a carnivorous theropod that lived at the very end of the Mesozoic era around 66-67 million years ago.

This tooth comes from the Hell Creek Formation, Harding County, South Dakota. This is an opportunity to acquire a good beginners tooth at a very reasonable price. It is an example of a lateral maxillary or dentary (upper or lower jaw) tooth that exhibits some heavy wear to the carinae on both the mesial and distal edges.

One side of the tooth has been crushed and the overall thickness would be considered thin. There does not appear to have been any repair or restoration to the tooth. The crown appears to have been either worn down or suffered some erosion. It should be noted that it is very difficult to determine tooth position based on the inspection of isolated examples. Therefore we use certain morphological features to suggest general location. A morphological diagram is provided further down the page.
