ORIGINAL - TOOTH OF A MOSASAURIAN - approx. 90 million years old !
MOSA SAURIANS were the largest marine dinosaurs, up to 17 meters long
The WARANE living today are probably the closest relatives to the MOSA SAURIANS, which became extinct 65 million years ago, albeit much smaller.
The ORIGINAL TOOTH sits on the ORIGINAL Matrix - a PHOSPHATE STONE.
We expressly mention this because the cheap Moroccan goods on sale at fairs and markets consist mainly of assembled pieces.
Weight: 270 g Dimensions: total 10 x 7 cm tooth; 5 x 3.5 cm
These fossils were found in the phosphate mines of QUED ZEM
