Authentic specimen of fossilized Mosasaur tooth from Morocco, approximately 70 million years old, in matrix. It comes with a plastic stand for display and is accompanied by a Certificate of authenticity signed by a professional geologist who performed the specimen’s expert analysis. The matrix is natural from Morocco, different from the one in which the tooth was originally discovered, but equally old. It may also contain other fossils from the same period (bones/vertebrae of fish, sharks, etc.) – see the product photos. An interesting and exotic decorative piece!
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.

I just received this specimen and I am very pleased with the way it was packaged — with great care and even a few pleasant surprises in the package. The fossil looks exactly like the photos; I appreciate the fact that you have included many clear and detailed images on the site. A gorgeous specimen! This is my first time ordering from you and, who knows, I may start a small collection. Congratulations on this unique site for us!
