Description from the seller
Complete Globidens phosphaticus Skull on Custom Stand – Ouled Abdoun Basin, Morocco
Lot Description:
Dear collectors and natural history enthusiasts, we are pleased to present at auction a truly outstanding museum-quality specimen: the skull of a Globidens phosphaticus, a fascinating and highly specialized mosasaur that dominated the seas of the Late Cretaceous (approximately 66–67 million years ago).
Unlike other marine predators of the time, Globidens stands out for its unique dentition: distinctly globular, rounded teeth that evolved to crush armored prey such as ammonites, bivalves, and sea turtles with tremendous force.
Species: Globidens phosphaticus
Origin: Phosphate deposits of the Ouled Abdoun Basin, Khouribga, Morocco.
Period: Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian (~66–67 million years ago).
Skull dimensions: 65 cm x 20 cm x 25 cm
Stand: Includes a custom-made wrought-iron display stand
Documentation: Supplied with its original Museum Certificate, guaranteeing its authenticity, provenance, and paleontological value.
Condition:
A specimen with magnificent three-dimensional preservation of its bone structure and very well-defined globular teeth. An exceptional opportunity to acquire a centerpiece of great visual and historical prestige for any private or museum collection.
Shipping and packaging:
The piece will be shipped carefully protected and insured in a reinforced box to ensure it arrives at its destination in optimal condition.
