How to evaluate this taxon
Ask the seller to explain why the tooth is assigned to Carcharodontosaurus rather than another Kem Kem theropod. Useful evidence includes close, well-lit photographs of both cutting edges, denticle density, crown shape, base, and repairs. Treat the species attribution as uncertain when the seller supplies only a broad locality and a confident label.
