AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Beautiful teeth of Plesiosaurus Mauritanicus. Plesiosaurus is a genus of extinct sea reptiles. Plesiosaurus means 'near-lizard.' They had a long, flexible neck with front limbs that resembled real paddles. The teeth are quite large for this species, measuring 6.1 and 5.6 cm. Often, during excavation, the teeth are broken in the layer, so one tooth has been glued back. They are otherwise completely original. I took these teeth with me on my last trips to Morocco in April 2025. They originate from the phosphate quarries near Oued Zem in central Morocco.

Info cards are added to the package.

The shipment is registered and insured.
