MASSIVE
MOSASAURUS BEAUGEI TOOTH IN MATRIX - Khouribga, Morocco
CRETACEOUS
PERIOD: 65 million years ago
This
remarkably well-preserved Mosasaurus beaugei tooth is very rare to be in
this condition and to be so massive in size. With its leading edge
still buried in the original matrix, it is estimated to be just under
3" in length! This tooth is unquestionably one of the most
beautiful teeth we have seen with its soft cream and beige grain and
CHOICE enamel. Other than the most minute couple of nicks on the
surface from natural feeding wear, this is a perfect specimen and
without any breaks or age fracturing. The
scattered white objects in the matrix are fossilized coprolites, vertebrae
and bones. As
a massive Mosasaurus tooth in matrix with NO
REPAIR AND NO RESTORATION and
of such fine preservation, we gladly recommend this rare example to
collectors looking for both size and quality in their collection.
This tooth in matrix is one of the finest we could offer. GIANT
NEAR PERFECT TOOTH WITHOUT ANY BREAKS - AAA!
4.25" x
3" wide w/ matrix, tooth approximated at 2.75" in length along
the leading curve
