This stunning fossil specimen features two genuine Mosasaur teeth preserved in their natural matrix. The largest tooth measures 1.46 inches, while the entire matrix measures 3.73 inches, making this a display-ready and highly collectible piece from the Late Cretaceous period (70–66 million years ago).
Both Mosasaur teeth show beautiful enamel preservation, natural coloration, and subtle root detail. This dual-tooth specimen offers a rare glimpse into the life of one of the ocean’s most powerful marine reptiles—often called the "T. rex of the Sea." No restorations or composites—just 100% natural fossil material as found.

📚 About Mosasaurs
Mosasaurs were massive marine reptiles that ruled the oceans during the Late Cretaceous period, around 70–66 million years ago. Often called the “T. rex of the sea,” these predators could grow over 50 feet long and were equipped with powerful jaws, conical teeth, and a snake-like, flexible skull that allowed them to swallow prey whole. Unlike dinosaurs, mosasaurs were more closely related to modern monitor lizards and snakes.
They hunted fish, sharks, ammonites, sea turtles, and even smaller mosasaurs. Their double-hinged jaws and sharp, recurved teeth made them efficient predators. Mosasaurs propelled themselves using a powerful tail fluke and paddle-like limbs, making them fast and agile swimmers.
Fossils of mosasaurs are commonly found in ancient seafloor deposits across North America, Europe, and Morocco. Their teeth—like the one in this specimen—are highly collectible due to their iconic shape, rich history, and direct link to the last age of the dinosaurs.
