Mosasaurs lived in the Upper Cretaceous, about 100 to 65 million years ago. Fossil finds all over the world suggest that the animals lived in seas all over the world. Today living relatives of the mosasaurs are snakes, lizards and double lizards - together they form the group of pangolins.
The locality of this fossil is in central Morocco, near the city of Qued Zem on the "Plateau of Phosphates". Teeth and bones of prehistoric sea creatures are found in these phosphate-bearing rocks. Today the site lies in the middle of the Sahara desert, but during the lifetime of the mosasaurs in the upper Cretaceous there was an extensive sea. Due to warm-tropical temperatures the polar caps had melted and the sea level was much higher than today.
The Mosasaur tooth including the matrix is between 7 and 10cm tall and comes safely padded in a chic and high quality collection box. Also included is a sliding plastic stand to set up the dinosaur tooth and an info card Mosasaur.
