Description
This listing is for a fossil from my personal collection for a couple years now. It is a Spinosaurus jaw bone with no repair or restoration.The bone is part of the left dentary (lower left jaw bone) of an adult animal. The jaw itself has no repair or restoration and has 6 tooth sockets clearly visible and the tooth size and tooth socket spacing changes dramatically just as a Spinosaurus dentary does.
The teeth were placed into these tooth sockets after the fossil was found and filled in with sand from the Kem Kem Beds and stablized with a light glue. If you wanted to get them out, some acetone would do the trick. It was prepped so you would be able to take the teeth our if you wanted an all natural Spinosaurus jaw bone without the teeth composited back in.
The teeth are excellently quality though and really make the jaw stand out.
Overall dimensions are 10" long on a straight line (no diagonal), 5" tall (without the teeth), and 2" thick at the thickest.
With the teeth included the jaw is 6 1/4" tall top to bottom.
I love Spinosaurus and really appreciated this in my collection, but I hope to pass it on to another home where it can be appreciated for what an incredible piece it is.
You almost never see pieces like this for sale. Do a quick google search and see for yourself.
Feel free to message me with any questions, thank you!
The fossil can also come with a COA upon request.
The jaw was found outside the city of Taouz Morocco along a cliff facing which separates Morocco from Algeria. This area is known as the Kem Kem Beds and dates back to the Cretaceous Period about 95 million years in age. The amazing thing is that this area used to be a lush tropical environment full of life. All of the waterways and river systems created a perfect environment for teeth, claws and bones to become fossilized.
