Fish dinosaur tooth in matrix from Morocco, approx. 80 million years old.
Size of the pieces approx. 7 - 10cm
Mosasaurs lived in the Upper Cretaceous, around 100 to 65 million years ago. Fossil finds all over the world suggest that the animals lived in the oceans worldwide. Today's living relatives of mosasaurs are snakes, lizards and double lizards - together they form the group of scaly crawlers.
Localities where this fossil was found are in central Morocco, near the town of Qued Zem on the "Plateau des Phosphates". Teeth and bones of prehistoric sea creatures can be found in these phosphate-containing rocks. Localities today are located in the middle of the Sahara desert, but during the lifetime of the mosasaurs in the Upper Cretaceous period there was an extensive sea. The polar ice caps had melted due to warm tropical temperatures and the sea level was significantly higher than it is today.
