2.44" Fossil Crocodile Tooth - Rooted With Great Preservation
This is a 2.44" long, rooted, Cretaceous aged fossil crocodile tooth from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. It has absolutely gorgeous preservation with just one crack repair in the root.
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.
