Carcharodontosaurus, aff. saharicus (carnosaur)145-72.1 myo,morocco

Lovely little tooth from this Dinosaur, deep rich colour typical of these types of teeth with some nice serration detail.

Carcharodontosaurus was a ferocious theropod that lived in what is now known as Africa during the Cretacious period between 145-72.1 million years ago. There are two known species, Sahaicus and Iguidensis which are both among the largest of the theropods, nearly , or even larger than that of the Tyrannosaurus rex, but equally as fearsome and terrifying. From fossil remains Carcharodontosaurus was estimated to measure 12-14 metres in length and weigh approx between 6 and 15 tonnes.
