AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Museum-Quality Mosasaurus Fossil.

A well-preserved, fully articulated fossilized Mosasaurus paddle measuring approximately 60 cm in height and 30 cm in width. This exceptional specimen preserves a complete series of metacarpals/metatarsals and phalanges, forming the fully functional flipper that propelled this prehistoric apex predator through the late Cretaceous seas, some 70 million years ago.

Collected from the phosphate deposits of Khouribga, Morocco, the fossil is 70 million years old. The bones are naturally arranged, giving the piece a striking, almost hand-like appearance without feeling overly reconstructed.

Professionally prepared and stabilized, the fossil shows strong anatomical clarity and surface detail. It presents well and is suitable for private collections or institutional display. A refined, scientifically meaningful specimen that speaks for itself.
