Description
This listing is for 13 dinosaur age fossil teeth from the dinosaur age beds of Niger, Africa.The teeth were found in the region outside of the city of Agadez in central Niger. There are a few different geologic regions that have dinosaur bearing sediments including the Elrhaz Formaiton (Cretaceous) as well as the Tiouraren and Irhazer Formations (both Jurassic in Age). All formations have sauropod dinosaurs described from them but only the Jurassic formations have sauropods with this kind of tooth structure, so this tooth is most likely from one of those formations dating back to the Jurassic.
This teeth have the shape and size of either a crocodile or possibly Suchomimus tooth.
Fossils coming out of these regions are hard to track exactly where they were found, so some research and detective work can help give a most likely identification of the. Of course there are other resources out there and people with vast knowledge bases about this that could help ID this tooth.
If this tooth is from the Elrhaz formation, then it is almost certainly from the incredible dinosaur Suchomimus. If it is from the Tiouraren, then it is a crocodile tooth. Some research into identifying a Suchomimus tooth vs a crocodile tooth would be helpful in identifying this. Either way a really nice rare fossil tooth!
A great opportunity for resale, collection or study! Some of the teeth still have a little bit of sticky glue on them which is fairly easy to get off with your fingernails or any kind of small fossil prep tool. Not a big deal, just a little tedious.
The teeth come with the riker mount pictured as well.
