2.02" Serrated Megalosaurid Dinosaur (Afrovenator) Tooth - Niger
This is a serrated, 2.02" long megalosaurid dinosaur (Afrovenator abakensis) tooth from the Tiouraren Formation (Irhazer Group) of Gadoufaoua, Niger. There are a couple repaired cracks through the tooth, with a fragment missing along one face. Overall this is an incredible Afrovenator tooth!
Afrovenator, meaning "African Hunter", was a middle Jurassic megalosauroid theropod dinosaur from Niger, Africa, about 167-157 million years ago. Typical of megalosaurs, Afrovenator had a boxy skull filled with sharp teeth, built for a life of terrestrial predation. It measured 20-23 feet long and weighed a relatively light 0.9 tons.
