Serrated, 1.32" Theropod (Deltadromeus?) Tooth - Real Dinosaur Tooth

Serrated, Theropod (Deltadromeus?) Tooth - Real Dinosaur Tooth #139390

This is a 1.32" long, serrated theropod dinosaur tooth, collected from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. The serration count per 5mm and general size of the tooth indicate that it's not from Carcharodontosaurus. While it cannot be definitely classified as Deltadromeus due to lack of complete skull material, it is a possibility.

Comes in an acrylic display case.

The Kem Kem Group is famous for yielding a diverse Late Cretaceous vertebrate assemblage, including fish, reptiles, and dinosaurs such as Spinosaurus. These fossils are found in a thin bed that outcrops around the edge of a large plateau near Taouz, Morocco. Local miners collect these fossils by digging narrow tunnels by hand into this plateau, following the layer.
