🐊 About Fossil Mosasaurus Teeth
Fossil Mosasaurus teeth come from one of the ocean's most formidable marine reptiles—Mosasaurus, a dominant predator of the Late Cretaceous seas. These large, predatory lizards lived approximately 70 to 66 million years ago and could grow over 50 feet long, preying on fish, ammonites, and even other marine reptiles.
Mosasaurus teeth are known for:
- Their conical shape, often tapering to a sharp point
-
Smooth, glossy enamel, sometimes with faint vertical ridges
-
Thick, oval cross-sectioned roots when present
Most teeth sold today are recovered from the Oulad Abdoun Basin in Morocco, one of the world’s most productive fossil sites for Late Cretaceous marine life. Sediment composition in this region often imparts a rich color to the fossils, ranging from tan, brown, and yellowish beige to deep red and gray.
Each Mosasaurus tooth from Fossil Driven is:
- Sourced directly from Moroccan fossil beds
- Inspected for authenticity, repair, and preservation
- A real fragment of a once-dominant sea reptile
These fossils are ideal for:
- Fossil collectors and dinosaur-era enthusiasts
- Marine reptile display collections
- Educational science kits and school exhibits
- Unique and meaningful prehistoric gifts
