Description from the seller
MOSASAURUS SP. – FOSSIL MOSASAURUS SKULL
For sale: an impressive fossil skull of a mosasaurus (Mosasaurus sp.), a large group of marine reptiles that ruled the oceans during the Late Cretaceous.
With its powerful jaws and rows of sharp, conical teeth, the mosasaur was one of the most striking predators of the prehistoric seas.
This skull originates from the Ouled Abdoun Basin, near Khouribga in Morocco. This region is renowned worldwide for its rich phosphate deposits, in which numerous fossils of marine reptiles and other prehistoric sea creatures have been found.
The skull has a noticeably elongated form and features several visible teeth. The light color of the fossil bone forms a beautiful contrast with the brownish tones of the teeth, making the jaw structure stand out nicely. The included metal display allows this remarkable fossil to be presented attractively.
