CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT DELTADROMEUS
Collected long ago when the Kem Kem deposits (now nearly devoid of good dinosaur material) once produced spectacular dinosaur fossils, this is a supreme quality dinosaur tooth from the large, swift meat-eater Deltadromeus agilis. With much of the dinosaur fossil remains in this area now completely dug out and large parts of the formation leveled, it is likely that teeth like this will now be found mainly in older collections as this one was in. This is an anterior position tooth where in the front of the jaw, the teeth are more rounded in their cross-section. The teeth in this region of the jaw are shaped this way to be able to withstand breakage and the force of snatching strikes by the dinosaur, when it grabs its prey.
This stunning example features a complete original crown with AAA preservation and NO FABRICATION OR COMPOSITING OF MULTIPLE PARTS TO MAKE A COMPLETE TOOTH. A single fracture exists but the tip is the original tip. The serrations are excellent with as expected. natural feeding wear. The enamel is a rich, mix of reds and oranges. .
