Mosasaur Tooth Fossil in Matrix – Cretaceous Kem Kem Basin Morocco, Genuine Dinosaur-Age Specimen

Mosasaur Tooth Fossil in Matrix – Cretaceous Kem Kem Basin Morocco, Genuine Dinosaur-Age Specimen

Original price was: £36.00.Current price is: £32.40.

A superb Mosasaur Tooth Fossil embedded in its original matrix, discovered in the Kem Kem Beds of the Cretaceous Period, near Khouribga, in the Kem Kem Basin, Morocco. This authentic specimen represents a tooth from one of the top marine predators of the Late Mesozoic era.

Mosasaurs were large marine reptiles closely related to modern monitor lizards and snakes. They dominated the seas during the Late Cretaceous, preying on fish, ammonites, and other marine life with their powerful jaws and robust conical teeth.

Fossil Type: Marine Reptile Tooth (Mosasaur)

Genus: Indeterminate Mosasaur (family Mosasauridae)

Geological Age: Lower Cretaceous – Aptian Stage (~125–113 million years ago)

Formation: Kem Kem Beds, Kem Kem Basin, Morocco

Depositional Environment: The Kem Kem Beds were formed in a river-dominated deltaic environment with periodic marine incursions. This rich ecosystem supported a diverse assemblage of both terrestrial and aquatic fauna, including dinosaurs, pterosaurs, fish, and marine reptiles like mosasaurs.

Morphological Features:

  • Thick, conical tooth with slight curvature
  • Well-preserved enamel and root (where present)
  • Naturally set in original sedimentary matrix for display

Notable:

  • Excellent example of a Cretaceous apex predator’s fossil tooth
  • Embedded in matrix for an authentic geological presentation
  • Perfect for collectors, educators, and fossil enthusiasts

Cretaceous Information

The Cretaceous Period (145–66 million years ago) was the final era of the Mesozoic, marked by the dominance of dinosaurs and the rise of flowering plants. It had a warm, greenhouse climate, with high sea levels that created vast shallow inland seas. Marine life flourished, including mosasaurs, ammonites, and rudist reefs, while the land was ruled by iconic dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex, Triceratops, and Spinosaurus. Mammals and birds diversified, and insects thrived. The period ended with the mass extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, wiping out the dinosaurs and paving the way for the rise of mammals in the Cenozoic.
