2.4" Fossil Rooted Crocodylomorph (Dyrosaurus?) Tooth - Morocco

This is a very nice rooted tooth of an Eocene age crocodylomorph (Dyrosaurus?). It is 2.4" inches in length with wonderful preservation and was collected from the phosphate mines in the Oulad Abdoun Basin of Morocco. Based on size, it's likely a Dyrosaurus tooth that would have been located near the back of the mouth.

Dyrosaurus was a large marine animal, reaching up to 6 meters in length. It's slender jaws with sharp, recurved teeth hint at a primary diet of fish.
