Description from the seller
Skull of Globidens – Late Cretaceous (approximately 70 million years ago)
Origin: Formation of Khribga, Morocco
Authenticity: 90% original
Documentation: Complete and officially recognized in Spain.
Dimensions: 70 × 70 × 35 cm
This extraordinary specimen corresponds to a skull of Globidens, a marine mosasaur from the Late Cretaceous famous for its powerful spherical dentition, perfectly adapted to crush shells and exoskeletons. This distinctive trait makes Globidens one of the most specialized predators of prehistoric seas.
The fossil, extracted from the rich fossil deposits of Khribga (Morocco), is presented in excellent condition, with 90% original composition and minimal restoration aimed solely at stabilization. The piece stands out for its complete anatomical structure, showing in great detail the jaws, dental arrangement, and cranial cavities.
Accompanied by all official documentation and recognized certificates in Spain, this fossil meets the legal requirements for possession and commercialization.
A museum piece of great scientific and aesthetic value, ideal for collectors, museums, or institutions dedicated to paleontology.
