Nombre Científico:
Mawsonia gigas

Ubicación:
Kem Kem, Sudeste de Marruecos

Etapa:
Cretácico Superior – aproximadamente 95 millones de años

Tamaño:
10.7 cm de longitud

Descripción del fósil:
Este fósil representa un fragmento bien definido del cráneo frontal superior de un ejemplar de Mawsonia gigas, un celacanto gigante que habitó aguas dulces y costeras durante el Cretácico. La pieza conserva parte de la estructura ósea anterior al área mandibular, con texturas y relieves claramente visibles. Su procedencia de la formación Kem Kem le confiere una tonalidad rojiza característica de los sedimentos ferruginosos de la zona. El fósil se presenta completamente natural, sin intervenciones de restauración, y está montado sobre un marco 3D diseñado para su exhibición en vitrinas museísticas o colecciones privadas. Su estado de conservación y presentación lo convierten en una pieza singular dentro del registro fósil de vertebrados acuáticos.
