    Rare Suchomimus tooth, genuine fossil tooth from Niger

    Fossil dating back +/- 112 million years ago from the Cretaceous era. Found in Elrhaz formation, Niger

    Size: 4.8cm cm in length

    Suchomimus is a prehistoric dinosaur that lived during the Early Cretaceous period, approximately 112 million years ago. Suchomimus belonged to a group of dinosaurs known as spinosaurids, characterized by their long, narrow snouts and large, sail-like structures on their backs.

    Suchomimus was a formidable predator, reaching lengths of about 36 feet (11 meters) and weighing around 4 to 6 tons. It had a slender body with powerful limbs and sharp, conical teeth suited for catching and gripping prey.

    One of the most distinctive features of Suchomimus was the sail-like structure on its back. This sail, composed of elongated spines, may have served several purposes.

    Fossil evidence suggests that Suchomimus inhabited the ancient river systems and coastal regions of what is now Niger in Africa. It likely spent much of its time near water, using its long snout to catch fish or other prey that ventured too close to the shoreline. Although primarily aquatic, Suchomimus was capable of moving on land, using its powerful legs to pursue prey or move between different bodies of water.
