Descrizione

Locality: Morocco

Era: Mesozoic (Late Cretaceous)

Approximate size: 53 x 26 cm (21 x 10 in)

This one-of-a-kind mosasaur display piece is a composite: genuine fossil mosasaur jaw bone fragments and teeth, laminated to a tall slab of pale golden host rock for presentation. The curved, conical teeth are a glossy chestnut brown against the sandy host rock, angled slightly back the way a predator's teeth hook its prey. Standing upright, the piece has real presence and makes a dramatic display. The metal stand shown in the photos is for display only and is not included.

Mosasaurs were large marine reptiles that hunted the warm, shallow seas of the Late Cretaceous, from about 100 to 66 million years ago, until they vanished in the same extinction that ended the dinosaurs. Distant relatives of today's monitor lizards, they swam with paddle-shaped limbs and a long, finned tail, and their jaws carried rows of strong, cone-shaped teeth for seizing fish, ammonites and other marine animals. Their bones and teeth are among the best-known fossils of that ancient ocean.

Chemical Composition: Fossil jaw bone fragments and teeth (apatite) laminated to host rock

Mohs Hardness: 5
