6.4 cm large light-coloured tooth from a Mosasaurus

The 6.4 cm tooth of the Mosasaurus is quite large and relatively broad. The enamel is light brown with visible grain. The tooth shows no obvious signs of repair, which is rare in finds from Morocco. Mosasaurs were a globally widespread group of predatory marine lizards in the Late Cretaceous period. These reptiles, which grew up to 17 meters long, were among the most dangerous carnivores in the Cretaceous oceans.
