Description

A theropod dinosaur tooth from a newly discovered site in Talsint, located in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.  

No dinosaurs have been formally described from this area as of yet, however it contains both Cretaceous and Jurassic sites.  The Cretaceous outcrops have a fauna similar to that of the Kem Kem Beds 500km to the south and are thought to be roughly the same age.  Unlike their Kem Kem counterparts, fossils from this region are much harder to come by and hence more expensive.  However this tooth ought to make an interesting addition to someone's collection!

This is an indeterminate thropod tooth, with some good serrations and a repair to the tip.  Comes labelled and stored in an acrylic case with padding.

Condition: Fair/Good

Size: 0.81 inch

Age: 93-99 Million Years

Locality: Talsint, Figuig Province, Atlas Mountains, Morocco (Dekkar Formation, Kem Kem Group)
