Description

Scientific name: Suchomimus tenerensis, (Sereno et al, 1998)

Location: Gadoufaoua, Téneré Desert, Niger.

Geological Formation: Erlhaz Fm

Age: Lower Cretaceous, Aptian/Albian stage ( 113 million years)

Size (long): 5,4cm 

REF.: #1347

DESCRIPTION: 
Here we introduce this beauty. It is an authentic tooth from this lower Cretaceous ichthyophagous theropod dinosaur. The genus Suchomimus, has teeth with Baryonyx- Spinosaurid type morphology, in fact they are the ancestors of the Spinosaurids of the Upper Cretaceous and contemporaries with his brother the Baryonyx genus. It is very common to find Spinosaurus teeth on the market from the abundant upper cretaceous outcrops of southern Morocco (Ifezouane Formation). But the genus Suchomimus only can be found in the Lower Cretaceous outcrops from Erlhaz Formation in the Teneré desert in Niger. These are much less abundant and quite rare fossils. Here we present you the opportunity to get an authentic tooth of the Suchomimus genus.

Observations: With absence of marked longitudinal striae. Within the Spinosaurids of Niger, although only the genus Suchomimus is officially described, it seems that there are many other undescribed Spinosaurids, such as morphotypos similar to Baryonyx.
