Rebbachisaurus, African Sauropod Tooth

This is a Rebbachisaurus sp. tooth from the Baharja Formation, Kem Kem Basin in Morocco. Rebbachisaurus was a large-bodied, small-headed, whip-tailed Sauropod who ate plants. The dinosaur lived during the Early Cretaceous, about 99 million years ago. The tooth is peg-shaped, typical of a vegetable-eater, with most of the enamel still present and a small root. The tooth measures 2.0 inches long and 0.45 inches wide at the base. The tooth has been repaired mid-section.
