fabiobrasilc Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Hi all, new member here. While searching for a gift for my mentors, who collect dinosaur fossils, I came across this (attached) Spinosaurus aegyptiacus tooth. Unfortunately, the vendor's website only has the two pictures attached. They're claiming it is 2-1/2" . Found at the "Kem Kem Region Of Morocco". I would love to hear your thoughts on whether this is real, or worth it at all. Thank you! Fabio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicnfossils Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Kem Kem is where they are found and it looks legit. I’m not good at spotting restoration so let other more knowledgeable members take a look at it & respond before buying but IMO the price seems high for a spino tooth, they’re pretty common.

Troodon Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Tooth looks nice don't see any red flags. It comes from the Kem Kem beds of Morocco. There are multiple Spinosaurs in these beds Spinosaurus sp. and Sigilmassasaurus brevicollis so its more accurate to call it by its family name "Spinosaurid indet." since you cannot distinguish teeth between these species. Will send you PM on pricing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Looks like a good tooth. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabiobrasilc Posted May 16, 2020 Author Share Posted May 16, 2020 Thank you all for the feedback, I really appreciate it! @JohnJ I apologize, I promise I tried reading every "New Member Read This" thread, but I missed the price part. I would edit the post to remove it, but it seems like it was already done. Thank you! Thanks again! Fabio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
