    Description

    This listing is for an extremely rare large theropod dinosaur tooth from the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.  The tooth measures 0.83" in length with accurate digital calipers and has beautiful black enamel.  This is my last specimen like this!
    This tooth comes from the Jurassic Period of the Atlas  Mountains of Morocco.  The formation is possibly the El Mers but it could be from one of the surrounding Jurassic Formations around the area such as the Ksar Metili.
    The tooth has been identified as being in the torvosaurid family based on geologic age and large distinct serrations.  It also makes sense that these teeth would be found in this geographic area since they are also found in Portugal in similarly aged rocks.
    There have recently been some incredible discoveries in this area ranging from giant sauropods to a newly described Stegosaurus.  Much of the geology in this area is Jurassic in age.
    Fossils coming from this region represent a whole new ecosystem different and older than the more famous Kem Kem Beds.
    A super rare one of a kind addition to any advanced fossil collection!  A super rare tooth from an almost unknown or researched location!
