1.8" Cretaceous Fossil Crocodile (Elosuchus) Tooth - Morocco
This is a partially rooted, Cretaceous aged fossil crocodile tooth from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. It most likely belongs to the genus Elosuchus. The tooth has particularly nice preservation compared to most. There is one repaired crack.
The Kem Kem Beds are famous for yielding a diverse, Late Cretaceous, vertebrate assemblage including fish, reptiles and dinosaurs such as Spinosaurus. These fossils are found in a thin bed that outcrops around the edge of a large plateau near Taouz, Morocco. Local miners collect these fossils by digging narrow tunnels by hand into this plateau following the layer.
