Elasmosaurus - Fossil skull - 49 cm - 28 cm

Exceptional and large Elasmosaurus fossil skull

Period: Late Cretaceous, about 80 million years ago.

An extraordinary fossil skull belonging to an exceptional adult Elasmosaurus specimen, one of the most iconic and fascinating marine reptiles of the Cretaceous. A majestic and imposing animal, characterized by the famously extremely elongated neck that swept through the vast prehistoric oceans and is traditionally considered the inspiration for the legendary Loch Ness Monster.

The proposed specimen represents a rarity in the field. Elasmosaurus fossils are extremely scarce in phosphate deposits, and the discovery of complete skulls is exceptional due to the delicacy and fragility of the bones. Pieces of this quality are hardly available on the collecting market.

The skull is in good preservation, with excellent bone quality and well-defined foramina, offering excellent anatomical readability and a notable aesthetic impact.

Skull length: 49 cm, indicative of a fully mature specimen belonging to an animal that could exceed 12 meters in total length.

The find is accompanied by an iron support, designed to render it immediately ready for display.

Provenance: Sidi Chennane phosphate formation, Morocco, one of the world’s best-known areas for Late Cretaceous marine vertebrate finds.

This skull represents a piece of great interest for high-end private collections, museums, foundations, companies, and display spaces, where it can serve as a central element of strong historical, scientific, and exhibition value.
