Spinosaurus
Morocco — export / origin docsKem Kem Group spinosaur teeth are a staple of the commercial Moroccan trade. Bone is rarer; teeth are abundant — and so are casts and composites.

Cretaceous
Age
99–93 mya
Formation
Kem Kem
Diet
Carnivore
Common fossils
Teeth (conical, often unserrated), rare bone
Price context
Abundant teeth and scarce diagnostic bone should be compared as separate markets
Price bands are educational market context for common grades — not an appraisal, quote, or investment forecast.
Collecting status
Morocco — export / origin docs. Always confirm landowner release or export path, chain of custody, and that the specimen was not collected from forbidden public land. U.S. federal vertebrates under PRPA are not commercial inventory.

Conical, often fluted crowns. Demand formation (Kem Kem) not just “Morocco,” plus restoration honesty and export/origin paperwork appropriate to the grade.
How to evaluate this taxon
Do not pay for a species name that the available anatomy cannot support. Many isolated Kem Kem teeth can be placed only within a broader group. Compare crown height, completeness, surface preservation, repair, and documentation; then discount confident labels that are not accompanied by a stated identification basis.
