GENERAL INFORMATION:

The teeth of Torvosaurus are a big rarity, which makes of them the "Holy Grail" of the fossils of Theropods of the Upper Jurassic of Portugal.                                                                                  Getting lucky to catch a tooth in perfect condition, is virtually even rarer to get... and this, is technically, perfect!                                                                                                                                The fracture in the tooth, I designate as (Jurassic Fracture). The fracture is the time the tooth suffered the process of fossilization. For this reason, I consider the tooth technically perfect...

The preparation: It was terribly scary to prepare this tooth, without destroying anything of the tooth, in particular the saw... I consider this to be my best preparation work, a fossil...
