4,8 cm dunkler Zahn des Mosasaurus

This 4.8-centimeter-long tooth from Mosasaurus beaugei has brown enamel that darkens toward the tip and is well-preserved. The fine grain is clearly visible. The tooth shows minor repairs, which are clearly visible in the photos.

During the Late Cretaceous, Mosasaurs were a group of predatory marine reptiles found worldwide. These reptiles, which grew up to 17 meters long, were among the most dangerous carnivores of the Cretaceous oceans.
