Sarcosuchus tooth (3.4cm), genuine fossil tooth from Niger

Sarcosuchus tooth. Reptile that lived in what we nowadays call Niger.

Sarcosuchus was a giant, with fully grown individuals estimated to have reached up to 9 to 9.5 m

It has been speculated that it would likely have been capable of eating anything from large fish, crocodilians, to even dinosaurs! There has been a debated evidence of a large Sarcosuchus eating a young Nigersaurus, a large diplodocid from the same time period and area in Africa as Sarcosuchus. It probably competed for food or territory with other large carnivores such as the spinosaurid dinosars like Suchomimus or Eocarcharia.

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