Carcharodontosaurus Tooth

Species: Carcharodontosaurus saharicus
Length: 4,5cm
Origin: Marocco
Age: around 100-95 mil. years

Info: My first 'real' dinosaur item. I love prehistoric predators. This one is one of the biggest carnivores which ever walked the land. You can see the special texture of the tooth pretty well. I fear I have fallen for fossils. I will upload better pictures soon. I was just too excited to not share it.
