Cretaceous Period, 145-65 million years BP. A large fossil Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, African T-rex, dinosaur tooth. 38 grams, 64mm (2 1/2"). From an old Lincoln collection; acquired during the 1980s; from the Tegana formation, Sahara Desert region, Morocco. This species is often known as the African T-rex; the serration of the tooth is clearly visible with some good enamel and it was one of the largest predators (larger than its distant North American T-Rex cousin) of all time and is also related to allosaurus and the South American giganotosaurus.

Fine condition.
