Collection Of 6 Theropod Dinosaur Teeth
<Our item number 100488><B>Collection Of 6 Theropod Dinosaur Teeth From Morocco.</B> Carcharodontosaurus saharicus was the T-Rex of the Sahara in Morocco 80-90 million years ago. It was even bigger than a T-Rex and the top predator of that time. Its dagger-like teeth with sharp serrations like a steak knife give evidence of it ferocious nature. All six of these well-matched, light-brown teeth were found in a single location in the Kem Kem Valley area near Taouz, Morocco. These six shed teeth range in size from just over 1&#34; to over 2½&#34; long. They all possess good enamel and serrations with just the usual minor chipping and a few cracks. They could be from a single dinosaur or several as theropod dinosaurs shed their teeth often when feeding and then the teeth grew back so that a single dinosaur might have teeth that were 1&#34; long and others that were 4&#34; in length. The change in shape of the teeth can be analyzed from the 1&#34; to the much thicker and fatter 2½&#34; tooth. There ca n be great variability in the teeth from dinosaur to dinosaur and also their placement in the jaw. This interesting collection is housed in a 12x8&#34; Ryker mount. Add &#36;20 for domestic shipping. <BR>Estimated Value &#36;300-500. <BR><BR>Our item number 100488<BR><IMAGES><P ALIGN=CENTER"><IMG SRC="http://www.goldbergcoins.net/liveauction/38jpegs/100488.jpg"> </P></IMAGES> "
