AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Premium Lot · Original Mosasaur Skeleton (95% Authentic) · Own Discovery and Preparation

High Impact Piece · Market Rarity · Museum-Quality

An extraordinary opportunity is offered at auction: an original Mosasaur skeleton measuring 350 cm, exceptional for its preservation state, its imposing presence, and its guaranteed provenance.
This specimen, with balanced proportions and a level of integrity well above average, is a piece capable of transforming any museum, private collection, or exhibition room.

What makes this lot truly unique is its total traceability: the owner was the one who discovered, excavated, and professionally prepared the fossil. This provides an absolute guarantee of authenticity and an almost impossible-to-obtain added value in the current market.

Key points for the demanding collector
Skeleton that is 95% original, with bones of great beauty and anatomical detail.
Prestigious origin: phosphate deposits of Sidi Chenanne, Khouribga (Morocco).
Professional preparation carried out by the discoverer himself: maximum reliability, stability, and respect for the piece.
Excellent structural condition: articulated vertebrae, intact thoracic cage, and clearly defined limbs.
Striking visual presence, ideal for high-level exhibitions.


Museum Quality: a piece that makes a difference

This specimen retains the most impressive features of the great marine predators of the Cretaceous period.
Complete and aligned spinal column.
Extremities adapted to marine life, with impeccable morphology.
Broad and powerful thoracic cage.
Proportions that offer a result that is simultaneously realistic, elegant, and spectacular.

It is a fossil that is difficult to match in the current market: it combines scientific value, aesthetic impact, and a level of preservation that clearly positions it above most available specimens.



Premium Shipping: maximum security guaranteed

The piece will be packaged with professional standards.
High-density technical foam
Structural reinforcements
Custom rigid box

Ensuring that the fossil arrives at its destination with absolute safety and without risk.



An unrepeatable opportunity

Complete mosasaurs with this level of originality, a documented discovery story, and professional preparation conducted by the discoverer themselves are extremely rare.

A lot intended for discerning buyers seeking unique, exclusive pieces with high appreciation potential.
