This listing features a genuine Plesiosaur fossil tooth from the Cretaceous period, discovered in the phosphate-rich deposits of the Oulad Abdoun Basin, near Khouribga, Morocco. Plesiosaurs were long-necked marine reptiles that thrived during the Mesozoic Era, known for their powerful paddle-like limbs and carnivorous diet.

This particular specimen is a well-preserved tooth showing classic features such as elongate conical shape and enamel ridges, ideal for gripping slippery prey. Its preservation offers a tangible glimpse into the seas that covered Northern Africa over 66 million years ago.

Each fossil is a carefully chosen piece, and the photo shows the actual specimen you will receive. A scale cube = 1cm is included in the image for reference.

All of our Fossils are 100% Genuine Specimens & come with a Certificate of Authenticity.
