Mosasaurs were large marine reptiles that were well-adapted to living in the warm, shallow, epicontinental seas prevalent during the late Cretaceous Period. They breathed air & were powerful swimmers making them so well adapted to this environment that they gave birth to live young, rather than return to the shore to lay eggs, as sea turtles do. Mosasaurs had many qualities of a modern day snake, they had two rows of teeth in their upper jaw, the main set, and a smaller set toward the rear & center of their mouths. These teeth, like snakes, were thought to help hold onto & swallow lager prey whole. Their jaws could also expand, as snakes do, to help them swallow whole prey.

Description

This listing features an authentic Mosasaur fossil tooth, collected from the Cretaceous-aged phosphate deposits near Oued Zem, Khouribga, Morocco. Dating back approximately 66 to 100 million years, this fossil belonged to one of the most fearsome marine reptiles of the Mesozoic era.

Mosasaurs were not dinosaurs, but rather large marine reptiles that lived during the Late Cretaceous Period. They were air-breathing, carnivorous predators with sleek, hydrodynamic bodies that made them powerful swimmers. Mosasaurs had double-hinged jaws and flexible skulls, allowing them to swallow large prey whole—an adaptation much like that of modern-day snakes. Uniquely, they possessed two sets of teeth in their upper jaws: a primary row and a smaller inner row that helped secure and manoeuvre prey.

Unlike many reptiles, Mosasaurs gave birth to live young and spent their entire lives in the ocean, never needing to return to land. They were the apex predators of their time, feeding on fish, squid, and even other marine reptiles.

This fossil tooth provides a tangible connection to that incredible prehistoric world and is a fantastic item for collectors, educators, and enthusiasts alike.

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.
