ces dents de dinosaure appartiennent au Spinosaurus l'un des plus grands Théropodes (dinosaure carnivore). Cet animal mythique concurrençait en taille le fameux Tyranosaure Rex. Ces trois dents exceptionnelles sont en ivoire fossile daté de 110 millions d'années, ce qui en fait le plus vieil ivoire que l'on puisse trouver. Les colorations sont dues aux apports d'oxyde de fer et manganèse durant la fossilisation, les couleurs rouge et violet sont excessivement rares.
Condition
Parfait état. Aucun crack sur les 3 dents. Sur la base de la dent violette et la rouge une fissure sur le bois.
Perfect condition. No crack on the three teeth. On the base of the purple and the red one only one crack on the wood.
