Mosasaur Jaw With Root Bone
This fossilised tooth, still embedded in a section of jaw bone, belonged to a Mosasaur, a powerful marine reptile that ruled the oceans during the Late Cretaceous, around 70 to 90 million years ago.
The tooth’s sharply pointed crown and solid root structure reflect the mosasaur’s role as an apex predator, capable of seizing and consuming large prey with a bite designed for strength and grip. The surrounding bone preserves the natural texture of the jaw, with visible vascular channels and surface detail from the living animal.
Recovered from the phosphate-rich marine deposits of North Africa, this specimen has been carefully prepared to retain both anatomical clarity and the integrity of the surrounding fossil matrix. It stands as a compelling record of one of prehistory’s most formidable marine hunters.
Base: Solid oak wood
Mount: Stainless Steel
Dome: Handblown 2mm glass
Dimensions: 120x160mm
