Name:
Plesiosaur Tooth
Age: Cretaceous
Formation: Mosasaur Beds
Location: Morocco
Size: Tooth is 1.35 inches long
Here is a wonderful tooth from an extinct Plesiosaur. This tooth is from the Cretaceous deposits of Morocco. Plesiosaurs were large, vicious marine reptiles. They had extremely long necks and fairly lengthy tails. They swam by means of legs and feet that had developed into oarlike paddles. This tooth is wonderfully 3-dimensional and beautifully preserved. The corrugated, multi-colored enamel is excellent, and the tip is fully intact. The fossil has superb color and contrasts well with the sand-colored matrix. This dagger-shaped tooth is nicely centered on the block of sandstone - NATURAL, NOT COMPOSITED on the plate. This is a great example of a Plesiosaur tooth from the Cretaceous seas.
A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
