Description
Abelisaur (dinosaur) fossil tooth - $145 each Cretaceous period Kem Kem Group, Morocco
Tooth on the right - SOLD
Abelisaurs were medium sized carnivorous theropods, most species would have been between 5m - 9m long. Their teeth are finely serrated, triangular in shape and labio-lingually compressed (very thin, like a knife). Their hind limbs were stocky but powerful and their skull was typically deep with a short snout. These teeth have fantastic enamel, preserved serrations and are just awesome! One of these Abelisaur teeth will make an awesome centrepiece in your fossil collection, or be a fantastic starting point to your fossil collection. Pics don't do them justice, their size is at my cameras limit for zoom and focus.
Listed elsewhere cheaper, I have to cover the fees.
Pick up is welcome from the Hibiscus Coast I can put it on a tracked courier anywhere in NZ for $7 (RD extra)

Hi there, I’m very interested in the Abelisaur tooth still available, pictured on the left. In general, I’m fascinated by Abelisaurid theropods; Carnotaurus is my favourite dinosaur, so I’d love to know more. Could you please clarify if it’s linked to a specific species, or even *Abelisaurus comahuensis* itself, rather than just the genus? If the classification is indeterminate, no worries whatsoever; it’s still an incredible listing. Warm regards, Austen =) spendit2 (1143 • 3:37 pm, Sun, 31 AugHey Austen, I don't think there is a described species from the Kem Kem so the teeth I have are Abelisaurid indet. - with more and more material being found in Morocco, it's surely a matter of time before these teeth are given a genus! I totally agree though, they are an awesome thing! Some people get hung up on the inability to give these teeth a formal name, that's the nature of fossils though I guess, classification isn't perfect and set in stone (pun definitely intended) jurrassic (236 • Sunday, 31 August 2025Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question! It’s fascinating that the teeth are from an indeterminate Abelisaurid. They feel even more special, showing these theropods existed in that time and place, we might not have known otherwise. Given how scarce the fossil material for this dinosaur is, do we know where in the jaw the teeth for sale sat in its jaws? (top/bottom, front/back) Or if the teeth came from a single specimen, or others? Warm regards, Austen =) spendit2 (1143 • 8:38 pm, Tue, 2 SepThat's the cool thing about science, it's always changing with new knowledge and knowledge on this family is limited at the moment.... even with well known dinosaurs like Spinosaurus (also from the Kem Kem Group), our understanding of the animal is always changing. These Abelisaur teeth are not associated and I am simply not good enough to give a jaw position based on the tooth shape. Megalodon and a few other sharks I can, but not this dinosaur jurrassic (236 • Tuesday, 2 September 2025
