Mosasaur - Schelet fosilă - 60 cm - 30 cm

An exceptional opportunity to own a fossilized and fully articulated Mosasaurus paddle section, measuring an impressive 60 cm in length. This specimen preserves the entire series of metacarpals/metatarsals and phalanges, the functional “hand” or flipper that propelled this apex predator through the ancient seas. Collected from the renowned phosphate beds of Khouribga, Morocco, this fossil dates to the Late Cretaceous (~70 million years ago). While mosasaur material is common from this locality, complete, articulated paddle sections of this size and quality are exceedingly rare and highly sought after by both collectors and institutions. The arrangement of the bones gives the specimen an almost eerie, hand-like appearance, adding a fascinating aesthetic dimension and making it a conversation piece as well as a scientific one. The bones have been professionally prepared and stabilized, maintaining their natural integrity and anatomical detail. The articulation clearly shows the structure of the flipper and offers a striking, display-ready specimen suitable for a museum exhibit or a high-end private collection. Pieces like this are seldom available on the open market. For serious fossil enthusiasts, this is not merely a decorative object but a scientifically important specimen representing the pinnacle of Mosasaurus evolution. A true centerpiece for any collection.An exceptional opportunity to own a fully articulated Mosasaurus paddle section, measuring an impressive 50 cm in length.
