AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Authentic tooth of Globidens, a rare durophagous mosasaur from the Late Cretaceous.
Well-preserved, robust enamel crown with natural brown to dark coloration and the characteristic rounded, crushing morphology typical of the genus. Partially preserved root with visible mineralization and sediment traces. Shows typical wear patterns and minor cracks consistent with genuine fossilization and a diet adapted to hard-shelled prey.
From the phosphate deposits of Morocco.
This fossil from the Arte Terra collection is presented on a custom-made solid wood display base, designed to enhance both its aesthetic appeal and scientific value. The front of the base features a laser-engraved naturalistic illustration of the prehistoric animal to which the specimen belongs, reconstructed in its original environment. The “Arte Terra – Fossil Mineral Design” logo appears in the lower-right corner as a mark of authenticity and of the product’s artisanal craftsmanship.
