This is an fossil jaw of mosasaurus platecarpus from the phosphate deposits near, khouribga, morocco. It is a portion of the mandible (lower jaw) from the right side of the skull. The specimen shows off the foramen, and contains nine fully visible teeth and a few unerupted teeth. Whether or not these teeth belong to this jaw is up for some debate and we suspect some may have been imbedded for a more aesthetic piece. There are almost a dozen mosasaurs described from these deposits, but based on the teeth it appears to be from the species, prognathodon anceps. Mosasaurs are a family of enormous marine reptiles that truly dominated the seas 90 million years ago. They ruled during the last 20-25 million years of the cretaceous period. With the extinction of the ichthyosaurs and decline of plesiosaurs, mosasaurs diversified to become prolific apex predators in nearly every habitat of the oceanic world. This item is made of matrice, cristaux, gros cristaux, skutterudite, dent, assiette, crétacé, mosasaurus sp, upper cretaceous, mosasaur jaw, mosasaurus jaw, natural fossil and fossil paleontology.

Exclusive genuine mosasaurus skull for collectors. Fantastic mosasaur skull, cleaned and rebuilt in 3d. This incredible fossil belongs to a specimen of mosasaurus sp. Mosasaurs were one of the fiercest predator species of their time. An incredible opportunity to have in your collection a real piece of natural history measurements: 56 x 18 x 16 cm this fossil was found in the phosphate deposits of central morocco, in the khouribga area. These prehistoric lizards could reach a length of 17 meters. The mosasaurus, in addition to being among the largest of the mosasauridae family, was the last species to become extinct, on the contrary it was the first mosasaurid genus to have been found and described. This fascinating reptile is thought to have been one of the greatest predators of its environment. The morphology and dimensions, in fact, denote a marked adaptation to predation. Numerous jaw wounds found in fossil specimens suggest that these animals led a particularly violent lifestyle, probably fighting each other. This item is made of matrice, cristaux, gros cristaux, minéral naturel, naturel, skutterudite, dent, assiette and crétacé.
