Halisaurus arambourgi Skull with Vertebrae – Late Cretaceous, 72 Million Years Old (sold as part of my private collection). Species: Halisaurus arambourgi Age: ±72 million years (Late Cretaceous – Maastrichtian) Origin: Khouribga, Phosphate Deposits, Morocco Size: 31 cm / 12.2 inches Beautifully preserved skull with associated vertebrae of Halisaurus arambourgi, a smaller mosasaur that lived in the warm seas of the Late Cretaceous.

Professionally prepared and partially restored to create a museum-quality 3D display, this specimen is mounted on a custom base made of fossilized wood with a subtle metal support, enhancing both its scientific and aesthetic presentation.
