1.8" Fossil Mosasaur Tooth In Rock

This is a large tooth from massive Cretaceous Mosasaur of the genus Prognathodon. It is still partially embedded in the rock in which it was found. These teeth are found in the Oulad Abdoun Basin of Morocco during phosphate mining operations and are Upper Cretaceous in age or approximately 70 million years old.

These teeth tend to average just over an inch long, so this one is a quite large. This tooth has not been repaired, restored or remounted.
