I have here a 3.3" Vertebra from the Kem Kem of Morocco, identified as Carcharodontosaurid. Before I buy it, I'd like to know how accurate that identification might be. I know how tricky verts can be to narrow down. I'm suspicious for that reason. Thank you, Bellamy

I have here another Carcharodontosaurus. This one is just over 3". It appears free of repairs and restorations. Anyone see any red flags? Thank you, Bellamy

I have here Carcharodontosaurus teeth from two sellers. No restorations are declared. However, I'm suspicious of both and would appreciate more opinions on them. Here's the first one, I believe the tip is restored. It's 3.78"

A new "T-Rex" tooth just showed up on our favorite site. It is not a Tyrannosaurus rex tooth however but a more common and far cheaper Carch tooth. We know this because of its more blade-like morphology, its slender profile, its shape, its smaller denticles and the sand on the base I already notice multiple bids on it and I have no doubt the price would escalate as many hopeful collectors would try their hands on getting a cheap T-Rex tooth for themselves. For anyone looking to buy a true T. rex tooth, there are several factors to take note of: 1) Thi

Giganotosaurus Tooth? Or Carcharodontosaurus Dinosaur Tooth Fossil
Kurufossils posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone, I was recently offered this Giganotosaurus tooth. I was wondering if there was a way to distinguish it from carcharodontosaurus teeth from the kem kem beds? Or if anyone can share there opinion on this one, thank you. -
So, this theropod tooth came in a lot of a bunch of other teeth I bought as part of a box lot of about 20 Kem Kem theropod teeth. Most of it was in pretty bad condition, and there wasn't really provenance attached to them, but I paid literally pocket change for them. But to get back on point, I wasn't sure if this was an Abelisauridae, or a Carcharodontosaurus, possibly an indeterminate theropod. My gut feeling is that it's an Abelisauridae, but I'm not sure, Abelisaurid teeth tend to be much more easily recognizable, and I have a lingering doubt on this one. Measurements are in centimeters.

From the album: Dinosaurs
Species: Carcharodontosaurus saharicus Age: Cretaceous (Cenomanian), c. 95 million years ago Location: Kem Kem Formation, Morocco A lot of the enamel is missing, but an otherwise well-preserved tooth of Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, some would prefer labelling Kem Kem Carcharodontosaurid teeth as "Carcharodontosauridae indet." on account of Sauroniops pachytholus, but a 2020 study declared that it was likely synonymous with C. saharicus so I am comfortable with just referring to it as a tooth of Carcharodontosaurus. -

Repair on carcharodontosaurus tooth?
Per Christian posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone This tooth is one is like to buy if it's no repair, but it's a strange one. It looks as if it's supposed to have repair because the contours are off. But the enamel is really pretty. What say people here? Repairs? -
Repair on carcharodontosaurus tooth?
Per Christian posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello all, I'm thinking of buying this carcharodontosaurus tooth, it's 78 mm long, but it looks a little restored in my unprofessional eyes. What do people here think? -
Hi all. I have this tooth that i think is either an abelisaurid tooth or a carcharodontosaurus premax. Does anyone here have an idea which it could be? The tooth is a bit over 2 inches in length. It's from the Kemkem i think

Hi everybody Newbie from Belgium here. Been collecting, trading, swapping fossils for over a year now. Nice little amateur collection, bit of preparation-trails,... I've been wondering if there are specific techniques in the final preparation of teeth? Most of the high value teeth I see on *insert auctionsite* seem to have this shine/luster/gloss to them which makes them very pleasing to the eye. The photos of the Carcharodontosaurus-tooth show what I mean. I have about 10 of these (+7cm), but in no way as "shiny". Has there been any coatingproces to the ori

Rooted carcharodontosaurus teeth
Fotsirk posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi . I got some rooted teeth. I heard they are harder to find because it means the dinosaur died. So are these good Thanks -
Along with the debate on how many Spinosaurids are there in the Kem Kem we have a similar one on Carcharodontosaurids. Attached find paleontologist Andrea Cau blog on this subject. He analyzes the arguments brought by Ibrahim et al. (2020) and offers his rebuttal: http://theropoda.blogspot.com/2020/10/sauroniops-non-e-carcharodontosaurus.html His Conclusions "1) The front of Sauroniops is not 60% of that of Carcharodontosaurus , but of comparable size (and proportionately more stocky and broad, and both extend over 19 cm above the skull). 2)

I bought this tooth 5-6 weeks ago, as a carcharodontosaurid tooth. Very nice tooth, but, i think that the tooth is very flat for carcharodontosaurid. I don't have photos with the cross section, but try to imagine a tooth 1.94 inch long that is only 6-7 mm thick.

This is my new carcharodontosaurid tooth from Morocco. The tooth is 1.94 inch.

Repaired Carch tooth?
BonuFrailman posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi everyone, I was looking around for carch teeth and this one caught my eye. It’s in rough shape but I don’t mind. Only issue is, to me the tooth looks like it has some glue and possibly composite on it. I want to know what you guys think so please let me know! Does it look like a low quality tooth, or a bad repair job? Tooth measures 4 inches long and comes from the Kem Kem Basin -
hi, the tooth in question was found in the Kem Kem basin. the dealer sold it to me under the name Deltadromeus agilis. after looking at it, I am more of the opinion that it is a Carcharodontosaurus tooth. what do you all mean? (measures 5 cm) best regards

Hello ! i bought this tooth for quite a while for a very (i mean very very ) good price and i think this tooth may belong to baby carcharodontosaurus ? wound love to see you guy 's opinion ! kind regard.

The theropod landscape of the Kem Kem deposits continue to be more muddled with new discoveries and research but that should not surprise anyone. I've made several post about multiple Spinosaurid and Carcharodontosaurid in the Kem Kem and it continues to be supported by recent publications. The attached paper describes a femur that supports the concept that Abelisaurid's were in the Kem Kem. We are seeing teeth...so that's good. The paper however looks at the region: Figure 2 below, included in that paper, identifies the main theropod fauna of the region. The ab

I have had this carcharodontosaurid tooth from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco since Christmas 2011 and it is still among my most prized fossils. I took a photo of the cross section today and noticed that it's a rather fat tooth. There are other old pictures of it in my Gallery but does anyone know what tooth position such a fat Carch tooth could be? Premax, maxilla, dentary? The tooth is 7 centimeters long. Thanks in advance.

We all know that spinosaurus is most possible to be the largest theropod. Spinosaurus was not very tall (in the hip) but it probably was heavier and longest that tyrannosaurus, giga and carcha. But, what is the second biggest theropod ever? (only carnivorous, not herbivorous like deinocheirus). I think, that tyrannosaurus rex is the second biggest theropod ever. Giganotosaurus and carcharodontosaurus was longest that t. rex, but not tallest and heavier. Giraffe is taller that elephant, but elephant is the biggest terrestrial mammal. Argentinosaurus, supersaurus, patagotitan, diplodocus, was lo

How i can be sure that a carcharodontosaurus tooth in the market is really from carcharodontosaurus? Also, the tooth is more possible to belong in C. Sacharicus or C. Iguidensis?

I had found this tooth for sale while looking in a antique mall in Virginia. The tooth appears to be in good condition, which is apparent due to the serrations still being present. And thanks to some members from this forum, it’s likely that the tooth was a tooth that would be set and ready to take a place of another tooth if it ever fell off. The tooth is also likely to have belonged to a younger animal, juvenile or sub adult is probably where the age is somewhere around.
