Unearthed in the continental intercalaire, a significant 48mm 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

An exceptionally rare and beautiful discovery of a fine Spinosaurus tooth exhibits superb preservation, remaining complete and unbroken with minor enamel loss to the upper crown. The crown's apical tip is intact, revealing lighter dentin emerging through the apex point. A scientifically important study specimen, displaying great preservation and morphological features that detail the carinae cutting edges that can been studied under a micro-len, and under strong magnification, serrations in the once-developing enamel become visible. A unique opportunity to invest in a rare, top-grade Spinosaurus tooth with the root intact displaying unbroken fractures. Original matrix has been left in place for prosperity and authenticity.
