Carcharodontosaurus saharicus Fossil Tooth Cast (African T-Rex)
Cast directly from a real specimen.
Species: Carcharodontosaurus saharicus – a giant predatory dinosaur from Cretaceous North Africa. Reaching lengths of approximately 12–13 metres (39–43 feet), it possessed long, serrated teeth designed for slicing through flesh, earning it the name "shark-toothed lizard." This replica captures one of these remarkable teeth, showcasing the anatomy of one of Africa's most formidable prehistoric predators.
Size: Just under 12 cm (4.7 inches) measured straight from tip to root.
Time Period: Late Cretaceous (~100–94 million years ago)
Discovery Inspiration: Based on fossil material from North Africa, particularly the fossil-rich deposits of Morocco and Egypt, where some of the most important remains of Carcharodontosaurus have been discovered.
Tooth Replica
Made from durable resin and finished in a dark fossil-style tone, this striking replica features:
- A long, blade-like tooth with a finely pointed tip
- Realistic enamel texture and subtle surface detail
- Faithfully reproduced serrations characteristic of large theropod teeth
- Robust form reflecting its role as a powerful cutting tool
- Visually striking finish ideal for display or educational reference
- Realistic weight
Scientific Context
Carcharodontosaurus was a highly specialised predator whose jaws were lined with large, serrated teeth adapted for slicing through flesh. Unlike the heavily built teeth of some later theropods, its teeth were relatively thin and blade-like, functioning much like a steak knife. These adaptations allowed it to tackle large prey and thrive as one of the dominant predators of Cretaceous North Africa.
This replica highlights one of the dinosaur's most distinctive features, preserving the shape and detail of a tooth from one of prehistory's most impressive carnivores.
Assembly
Ships fully assembled as a single solid piece. No stand included.
