This is a beautiful authentic Mosasaur tooth from the Mosasaur Thalassotitan atrox from the late Cretaceous of Morocco! The tooth measures 2.87 inches (7.28 cm) with a complete root and zero repair or restoration which is very hard to find on Moroccan teeth of this size! It comes in a double sided clear display case with a stand for easy transport and display!
Mosasaurs are huge carnivorous marine reptiles that lived alongside dinosaurs from 101 to 66 million years ago. Some approached 60 feet (18 meters) in length! They aren't dinosaurs but are close relatives of snakes and lizards. Thalassotitan atrox is a large species of Mosasaur that was named in 2022 that could grow to lengths of over 30 feet! It preyed on a variety of marine animals including turtles, large fish and sharks, Ammonites, and smaller Mosasaurs.
