Here is a wonderful tooth from an extinct Pliosaur. This Peloneustes portentificus Tooth is from the Jurassic deposits of Russia. Pliosaurs were large, vicious marine reptiles. They had long necks and fairly lengthy tails. They swam by means of legs and feet that had developed into oarlike paddles. This tooth is wonderfully 3-dimensional and beautifully preserved. The corrugated, multi-colored enamel is excellent, and the tip is fully intact. The fossil has superb natural color. This dagger-shaped tooth is fully free of matrix and has NO REPAIR OR RESTORATION WHATSOEVER. This is a great example of a rare Pliosaur tooth from the Jurassic seas.
A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
