Description from the seller

Large mosasaurus jaw with 7 large teeth measuring 5-6cm! Jaw dimensions: 50×15cm. The piece overall measures 52x20cm.

Mosasaurus, in Dutch also called Maas monster, is a genus of extinct marine reptiles from the family Mosasauridae. The first fossil remains were found near Maastricht in the Sint-Pietersberg, which lies on the bank of the river Maas (Latin: Mosa), and Mosasaurus is named after the river. The species within this genus lived during the Maastrichtian, the last part of the Cretaceous period, approximately 75 to 65 million years ago.
The piece is mostly from one animal and has restoration work similar to most pieces from Morocco.

A beautiful piece for every collection, good luck with your bidding!
