1.43" Fossil Goniopholidid Crocodile (Oweniasuchus) Tooth - England
This is a beautiful tooth from the goniopholidid crocodilian, Oweniasuchus. It was collected from the Isle of Wight in England and is 1.43" long. It's in excellent condition and even has a portion of the root still intact. British dinosaur material is extremely hard to come by and this is a fantastic collector piece.
Comes with a riker display case.

Oweniasuchus was a genus of goniopholidid mesoeucrocodylian that lived during the Cretaceous. It was first described from a mandible by Richard Owen in 1879. At the time he named it Brachydectes minor, but the genus was already assigned to a Carboniferous amphibian. In 1885, English paleontologist Arthur Smith Woodward renamed it Oweniasuchs.
Since its discovery in England, specimens have also been recovered in Portugal.
