Collection: Kryptops palaios Fossil Teeth Collection

Kryptops palaios lived during the Early Cretaceous, approximately 113 million years ago, in what is now Niger, Africa. It was a carnivorous theropod and a member of the abelisaurid group, a diverse family of predatory dinosaurs that became particularly successful across the ancient southern continents.

The genus Kryptops is known from the Elrhaz Formation of Niger, the same fossil bearing deposits that have produced a remarkable variety of Early Cretaceous dinosaurs. The environment was home to numerous prehistoric animals, including large predatory theropods and long necked sauropods.

Their curved form and cutting edges reflect the predatory lifestyle of these carnivorous dinosaurs.

Whether you are a dedicated theropod collector, a dinosaur enthusiast, or interested in the fossil record of Africa, Kryptops palaios fossil teeth are an unusual and collectible piece of prehistoric history.
