{"product_id":"dinosaur-tooth-fossil-cretaceous-morocco","title":"Dinosaur Tooth | Fossil | Cretaceous | Morocco","description":"\u003cp\u003eMorocco is home to some of the world’s richest dinosaur-era fossil deposits, including rare teeth from predators like Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus, as well as newly described prehistoric reptiles with unique tooth structures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFossils in good condition, such as more complete specimens, are extraordinarily rare given that most of the Cretaceous fossil sites were once tumultuous river beds. Nearly all fossils are isolated bone fragments or teeth. The abundance of teeth partly results from the fact that dinosaurs continually lost and replaced teeth throughout their lives, similar to modern crocodiles. Thousands of dinosaur fossils are found in and exported from Morocco every year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAmong Moroccan dinosaur teeth, those of the theropod dinosaur Spinosaurus are especially common, likely resulting from Spinosaurus spending most of their time in the rivers, rather than along the river banks. In one fossil site examined by paleontologists in 2014, Spinosaurus teeth accounted for nearly half of all the fossil teeth recovered, and about a sixth of the total recovered fossils. Teeth of other dinosaurs are considerably more rare, with the fossil Spinosaurus teeth of one site outnumbering the teeth of other dinosaurs by about 150 to one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFossil Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e  Dinosaur Tooth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSpinosaurus \u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAge\u003c\/strong\u003e:  Cretaceous (143 to 66 ma (million years))\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tegana Formation, Aptian, Cretaceous, Kem Kem Basin, Morocco, North Africa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 41mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Canagem.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71634829639933,"sku":"03-00057","price":182.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/3309\/0374\/files\/20261021_092249.jpg?v=1792590604","url":"https:\/\/canagem.com\/products\/dinosaur-tooth-fossil-cretaceous-morocco","provider":"Canagem.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
