AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fossil. Two perfect, beautiful Mosasaur teeth with excellent enamel preservation.
Length: 45 mm and 30 mm.
The Mosasaurus was an extinct marine reptile that lived during the Cretaceous period and could reach up to 18 meters in length and weigh 14 tons. It was an excellent swimmer, capable of reaching speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour with its powerful body. With its sharp, hook-like teeth, the Mosasaurus specialized in grabbing large prey and swallowing it whole. It was at the top of the food chain in the Atlantic Ocean and was one of the last and most evolved mosasaurs.
Fossilized Mosasaurus teeth from the Upper Cretaceous, approximately 70 million years old. Various species are found, including Mosasaurus beaugei, Igdamanosaurus aegyptiacus, Prognathodon curii, Globidens phosphaticus, Platecarpus ptychodon, Prognathodon sp., or Eremiasaurus heterodontus.
