AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Globidens (mosasaur) fossil – assembled, mounted on a stand – Late Cretaceous, about 70 million years old
For sale: an impressive fossil of Globidens, a marine mosasaur from the Late Cretaceous, world-famous for its powerful, round teeth — perfectly suited to grind shells and molluscs.
The piece consists of multiple fossil fragments (jaw sections with the distinctive rounded grinding teeth, skull bones) that have been brought together on a metal stand with clamps into a single cohesive, presentable unit. Originating from the fossil-rich phosphate beds of Khouribga, Morocco. The object is sold in the condition shown and delivered, including the stand, with no further restoration or additional expertise on my part.
A striking showpiece for collectors of marine reptile fossils, prehistoric enthusiasts, or as a focal point in an interior or collection.

Dimensions: ca. 70 × 70 × 35 cm (assembled whole, incl. stand)
Geological period: Late Cretaceous, ca. 70 million years old
Condition: Assembled — multiple real fossil fragments mounted into a single piece on the provided stand. Not a cast/replica. The percentage of original bone versus any stabilising attachments is not independently verified.
Weight: ca. 30 kg
Shipping method: Pickup possible (Aartselaar/Antwerp region), shipping potentially negotiable by agreement — given the weight and fragility of the piece, pickup is recommended.
