Fossil tooth of Onchopristis Numidus.
The Onchoprystis Numidus, is closely related to the current sawfish but in much larger proportions, measuring about 10 meters in length and weighing about 2.5 tons.
This animal used to feed on fish that it hunted with the saw, and then crushed with its sharp teeth. It is thought that it was one of the favorite prey of the gigantic Spinosaurus.
Deposits : North America, North Africa, Brazil and New Zealand.
The fossil includes a label with the name, period and provenance and is attached to a 4 cm square cardboard box.
*The price is per unit (a single cardboard box of the four shown in the photo)
Since the samples are natural, you will receive a piece similar to the one in the photograph. The fossils come in cardboard boxes and are glued to a porex base with hot silicone; these can be removed using ethyl alcohol without damaging the fossil. The size is approximate.
