05147 - Top Serrated 0.43 Inch Dromaeosaur Raptor Tooth Cretaceous KemKem Beds Squalicorax two carinae and enamel ornamentedThis tooth represents a perfect example of the dentition features typical of the small theropods (raptors) that dominated the ecosystems of the Upper Cretaceous in the north of Africa. In general this type of teeth have usually a small size.
