Name:
Plesiosaur (Elasmosaurus) Tooth
Age: Cretaceous
Formation: Mosasaur Beds
Location: Morocco
Size: Tooth is 2.6 inches along curve
This is a huge tooth from an extinct Cretaceous Plesiosaur. Plesiosaurs were large, vicious marine reptiles. They had extremely 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 and textbook shape. This is a great example of a Plesiosaur tooth from the Cretaceous seas, possibly the best one we have ever had.
A Certificate of Authenticity from EXTINCTIONS is included with this specimen.
