This is a very striking Spinosaurus aegyptiacus tooth from the Cretaceous of Morocco. Spinosaurus was a large, carniverous dinosaur that is also known as the ''Thorn Lizard''. This large, dagger-shaped tooth is extremely 3-dimensional and very displayable on both sides. The very tip of the tooth exhibits a small amount of natural wear, which is extremely unusual for a tooth this large. A lengthy portion of the root is still intact and easily seen. The thick, corrugated enamel is beautifully preserved and has gorgeous reddish coloration. This is a very large tooth from this ferocious dinosaur, prominently featured in the movie, ''Jurassic Park 3''.
