MOSASAURUS jaw fossil (Morocco)
PUFO520-1
This jaw comes from a MOSASAURUS, a marine reptile of the Upper Cretaceous, so it is about 70 million years old. Discovered in Morocco, it has been meticulously reassembled and restored from genuin fossilized bone fragments.
The well-preserved teeth have retained their enamel, while certain bone parts have been completed to recreate the shape of the jaw as it once appeared. This reconstruction work allows a better understanding of the anatomy and power of these marine predators.
This piece stands at the crossroads between paleontology and the art of restitution — a faithful evocation rather than a fossil for museum research, perfectly suited for a cabinet of curiosities.
