MOSASAURUS fossil jaw (Morocco)
PUFO333-2
This jaw fragment belonged to a MOSASAURUS, a large marine reptile from the Late Cretaceous period that could reach up to 17 meters in length.
It was discovered in the phosphate deposits of Khouribga, Morocco, and dates back approximately 70 million years.
The fossil has been reconstructed within a phosphate matrix, as is customary for specimens from this locality. The teeth, still clearly visible, convey the strength of a predator that once ruled the ancient seas before the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Mounted on a brass base, this natural curiosity bridges paleontological science and the timeless aesthetics of the cabinet of curiosities.
