MOSASAURUS TOOTH - Khouribga, Morocco

CRETACEOUS PERIOD:  65 million years ago

These giant fossil tooth specimens are from the jaws of a FULL GROWN Mosasaurus beaugei, the largest identified mosasaur species from the Oulad Abdoun Basin of Morocco and one of five species known in the Maastrichtian phosphates of the Ganntour Basin (Morocco).  It was a giant attaining lengths of nearly 60 feet!  A full grown Mosasaurus had a 6 foot long skull with 4 foot jaws capable of opening 3 feet apart.  Like modern constrictors and other types of mosasaurs, the lower jaws were two separate units and could spread apart at the anterior end, stretching to give this amazing creature the ability to swallow huge prey.  

These examples are the largest type of mosasaur tooth available.  Each will possess gorgeous enamel and coloring.  They were found in the phosphate mines in Khouribga, Morocco - North Africa and are hand selected for their fine quality.  Some may exhibit natural wear from the creature on the tip and/or on an edge.  Much more rare than the smaller varieties of mosasaurs, Mosasaurus beaugei teeth are rare specimens and highly recommended for any collection due to their very limited quantities.
