Description: This unique piece is a Mosasaurus bone carving from Morocco, made from authentic fossilized bone fragments of one of the ocean's most formidable predators. Dating back to the Late Cretaceous Period of the Mesozoic Era, approximately 82 to 66 million years ago, these remnants belonged to the mighty Mosasaurus—a massive marine reptile that ruled prehistoric seas, often growing over 50 feet in length. Skilled artisans have carved these genuine fossil fragments into a stylized bone shape, blending scientific history with creative craftsmanship.
Sourced from the phosphate-rich beds of the Oulad Abdoun Basin, these fossils come from one of the world’s most productive marine fossil sites. The dense, mineralized bone fragments are typically too small or incomplete for full reconstruction but are perfect for thoughtful repurposing into artistic carvings. Each piece retains the textured grain and earthy tones of ancient fossil material, making it a distinctive addition to any fossil collection, educational set, or natural history display.
