Description from the seller
Framed Fossil Jaw - Globidens phosphaticus Mosasaur Jaw (26 cm) with 7 Teeth - Custom
Wall Display (54 x 41 cm) - Upper Cretaceous .
An extraordinary and impressive framed wall display featuring a large fossil jaw section of Globidens phosphaticus, a specialized globidontine mosasaur from the Upper Cretaceous period (Maastrichtian, approx. 66–72 million years old). This remarkable piece measures 25 cm in length and showcases 7 complete, robust, rounded teeth aligned in sequence within the original jaw bone matrix. Globidens was a unique marine reptile whose bulbous, dome-like teeth evolved specifically for crushing hard shell prey, such as sea turtles and ammonites. The fossil has been elegantly mounted on a dark contrasting floating background set within a high-quality wood frame, creating a modern, high-end museum-style display ready to hang. An ideal centerpiece for fossil collectors, natural history enthusiasts, or interior design projects looking for an authentic prehistoric artifact.
