Description:
This is a fine example of a tooth from the dinosaur Carcharadontosaurus
saharicus coming from the Middle Cretaceous Albian Stage deposits
of the Kem-Kem Basin, Morocco. Notice the fine serrations present
which
attest to the meat eating habits of this dinosaur that is thought
to have rivaled T rex in size. Like most found, this is a shed tooth.
Dinosaurs continually replaced their teeth so as to keep a sharp
set always deployed. The thin cross section shows this dinosaur
was more prone to stripping meat from the bones, rather than the
bone crusher that T rex is thought to have been.
