6.5 cm light brown tooth from Spinosaurus

The 6.5 cm tooth of Spinosaurus aegyptiacus has shiny light brown enamel that is almost completely preserved. The fine grain is clearly visible. Fine rock debris still adheres to the root of the tooth. The tooth shows no obvious signs of repair, which is difficult to rule out in finds from Morocco.
