Authentic fossilized Mosasaur tooth, 2.4 cm length, 70 million years old, Cretaceous, Morocco

RON 39,99

Authentic fossilized Mosasaur tooth specimen from Morocco, approximately 70 million years old, in a plastic box. An excellent gift for any 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.

Description

Mosasaurs are an extinct group of aquatic reptiles related to modern-day snakes. In appearance, they resembled present-day Komodo dragons. They lived alongside dinosaurs during the Cretaceous period, between 145 and 65 million years ago.

Mosasaurs were apex marine predators, feeding on fish, birds, ammonites, other aquatic reptiles (including smaller mosasaurs), and even dinosaurs that ventured into the water. Numerous ammonite shells have been found bearing mosasaur bite marks. Like snakes, mosasaurs had flexible jaw ligaments that allowed them to open their mouths extraordinarily wide, enabling them to swallow prey whole.

The specimens of this group of reptiles could reach between 1 and 17 meters in length, depending on the species.
The teeth are found especially in Morocco; they can measure between 1 and 8 cm in length and have a thick base that gives them stability and strength.
