Carcharodontosaurus Dinosaur Tooth With Partial Root. Large 2.3 inch tooth with a partial root of Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, the T-Rex of Africa. Carcharodontosaurus was as large or even larger than a T-Rex. This light brown tooth has very good enamel and good steak-knife-like serrations on both edges of the tooth. All dinosaur teeth with their original roots are rare as this means that the dinosaur tooth came from a skeleton of an actual dinosaur and not a shed tooth. More than 99% of all found theropod dinosaur teeth are shed teeth. This impressive tooth with no restoration was found in the Sahara desert of Morocco. Carcharodontosaurus was older than a T-Rex at 70-80 million years old. Carcharodontosaurus teeth are much thinner than T-Rex teeth and were excellent for cutting through flesh, whereas the much thicker T-Rex teeth could easily bite through bone.
