ENCHODUS TOOTH - Khouribga, Morocco LATE CRETACEOUS PERIOD: 96 - 66 million years ago This large predatory bony fish was easily the "saber-tooth tiger" of the prehistoric oceans. The seas of the late cretaceous must have been a terrifying place. Imagine salmon-like giant fish with fangs such as the one pictured here. These Enchodus teeth are found in the phosphate bearing matrix of the mines in Khouribga, Morocco. They will vary in size but all are large from impressive, monster-sized Enchodus fish. A very unique, collectible and affordable tooth from a fantastic prehistoric fish. Some specimens may have repair but overall condition is superb with fantastic enamel and preservation. Largest and most expensive example shown of the range we have. Judging from the massive fangs and teeth along with the streamlined body contour, the Enchodus was most likely a ferocious fish that struck it's prey with lightning quick attacks. Unfortunately, seldom is heard about this killer outside of paleontological studies.
