Rooted Mosasaur Tooth - 4.93” - Morocco
This is an authentic rooted Mosasaur tooth — a formidable marine reptile that ruled the ancient seas alongside the dinosaurs.
Mosasaurs were massive, carnivorous marine reptiles that dominated the oceans during the Late Cretaceous period, approximately 82 to 66 million years ago. These powerful predators grew up to 50 feet long, with strong jaws lined with robust, conical teeth designed for crushing and gripping prey like fish, ammonites, and even other marine reptiles. This impressive tooth comes from the phosphate deposits of Khouribga, Morocco, and dates to the final chapter of the Age of Dinosaurs, just before the K-Pg extinction event.
