Product Description:
This fossilized Sauropod Tooth from the Moroccan Sahara is a remarkable specimen, approximately 100-120 million years old, from the Early Cretaceous period. The tooth belongs to a herbivorous sauropod dinosaur, likely a species of Rebbachisaurus or Titanosaurus, that roamed the Sahara region during the Cretaceous period. The tooth is well-preserved, showcasing its distinctive broad, flat shape and coarse denticles, which were adapted for cropping and grinding plant material.
Geological Information
The Sauropod Tooth from the Moroccan Sahara was formed in a fluvial environment, where rivers and streams deposited sediment and fossils. The tooth was embedded in the sedimentary rocks of the Kem Kem Formation, a geological formation known for its rich deposits of dinosaur fossils, particularly sauropods. The Kem Kem Formation consists of layers of sandstone, siltstone, and claystone, which were deposited in a river delta environment. The tooth was fossilized through a process of permineralization, where minerals from the surrounding rock seeped into the tooth's structure, replacing the original organic material.
