Description
Science and beauty are rarely in conflict. Here they converge. Carcharodontosaurus — ‘shark-toothed lizard’ — was one of the largest theropod dinosaurs, rivaling T. rex in body size. Its blade-like serrated teeth, up to 8 centimeters long, could slice through flesh with a lateral shaking motion. This specimen from Morocco’s Late Cretaceous Kem Kem Formation is 95 million years old.
This specimen originates from Kem Kem Formation, Morocco, one of the world’s most significant localities for this type of material. Collectors and scientists have drawn from this region for generations, and for good reason: the combination of geological conditions here produces specimens of exceptional quality and clarity.
Every specimen is unique. Photographs approximate the visual experience, but the real thing — its weight, its luster under a raking light, the way it catches the corner of your eye — can only be experienced directly.
