Mosasaur tooth

A Mosasaur tooth resting on a chunk of matrix from Khouribga, Morocco. Mosasaurs were a group of large, predatory marine reptiles that lived during the Late Cretaceous period and they were apex predators in the oceans. This is a nice large crown with good enamel and one repair (the tooth has popped off the rock and been neatly reattached).

The region around Khouribga, Morocco where this tooth was found, is renowned for its rich fossil deposits. The phosphate mines here expose marine sediments that preserve a diverse vertebrate fauna, including mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, and various sharks, rays, and fish like Enchodus.   

The tooth comes with a display stand as pictured and a small card featuring the specimen name, region it was found, age and a QR code linking to some information about Mosasaurs.

This is genuine fossil. All the specimens we offer come with a lifetime authenticity guarantee.
