A dinosaur tooth of a cf. Afrovenator abakensis from the Irhazer Group in Marandet, Aderbissinat, Agadez, Niger. While megalosaurs are abundant in this region, it's unclear if they primarily belong to Afrovenator. The provenance and preservation is consistent with the Tiourarén Formation, but it is impossible to say for sure given the nature of these fossils. Despite having a fragile appearance, these fractured teeth are held together by very tough matrix.
