9.6 cm Mosasaurus tooth with root

9.6 cm large tooth of Mosasuarus with root

The 9.6 cm long tooth of Mosasaurus beaugei has beautifully preserved brown enamel. The tooth was restored, i.e. the tooth crown was placed on the root matrix. The mosasaurs were a globally widespread group of predatory marine lizards in the Upper Cretaceous. The reptiles, up to 17 metres long, were among the most dangerous carnivores of the Cretaceous oceans.
