Authentic fossilized XL Mosasaur tooth, 4.9 cm length, 70 million years old, Cretaceous, Morocco

Authentic fossilized Mosasaur tooth specimen from Morocco, approximately 70 million years old, in a wooden box with a transparent lid. Comes with a Certificate of authenticity signed by a professional geologist who appraised the specimen. An excellent gift for a dinosaur or paleontology enthusiast!

Reptiles have teeth that are replaced many times throughout their lives (even weekly). This, combined with the durability of enamel as well as the long span of time they inhabited the Earth, means that fossilized teeth of mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs, and dinosaurs are commonly found in various parts of the globe.

Due to the age of the specimen, the fragmentary nature of the fossil deposits in Morocco, and local extraction methods, the tooth may exhibit imperfections and repaired areas (glued sections) that are completely normal and unavoidable, but it is overall in good condition, with the enamel layer nearly intact. We invite you to carefully review the product photos to identify any natural imperfections or potential repairs on the specimen.
