Description: This is a fine example of a spatulate tooth from the sauropod dinosaur Rebacchisaurus coming from the Lower Cretaceous Albian Stage deposits of the Kem-Kem Basin, Morocco. This was a mid-sized sauropod some 20 meters in length. The wear on the tooth is natural, and indicative of the way the dinosaur used its teeth to nip off plant matter to be sent to the barrel-like stomach for processing. Many examples of the gastroliths (stomach) stones that sauropods used to grind up their food have been found in situ. This one comes in a Riker-type box ready for display.
