Description from the seller
Rare set of 2 large Mosasaurus teeth in a luxurious display | Late Cretaceous, 75 to 66 million years old | Morocco
A beautiful and decorative set of two authentic Mosasaurus teeth, professionally presented in a floating display. These fossils come from the famous phosphate layers of Khouribga in Morocco and date to the Late Cretaceous, approximately 75 to 66 million years ago.
The Mosasaurus was one of the most impressive predators to have inhabited the oceans. With a length of up to 15 to 20 meters, this gigantic sea reptile sat at the top of the food chain. Thanks to its powerful jaws and sharp teeth, it hunted fish, turtles, ammonites, and even other marine reptiles.
What makes this set special is the beautiful form and excellent preservation of both teeth. Together they form a striking collector’s item and an impressive display piece for collectors of fossils, natural history, and prehistoric animals.
The teeth are delivered including the floating display as pictured.
