Le Spinosaure ou lézard épineux vivait dans l'actuel Nord de l'Afrique. Grâce à de récentes découvertes et de nombreuses analyses scientifiques, nous avons appris que c'était le plus grand des dinosaures carnivores, dépassant allègrement de loin le célèbre T. rex. Les fossiles découverts d'adultes Spinosaures en font le plus long théropode connu. Mesurant de 16 à 18 mètres, il pouvait atteindre 5 à 6 mètres de haut, pour un poids de 7 à 8 tonnes. Très bel ivoire fossile pour ces deux exemplaires de dents. Les dents ont été préparées afin de mettre en valeur l'ivoire fossilisé.

Collection particulière, Sud de la France
