Mosasaur (Eremiasaurus?) Tooth In Jaw Section

This is a section of a Mosasaur jaw with a single, well preserved tooth. Based on the tooth it is probably from Eremiasaurus heterodontus. There is a repaired crack at the base of the tooth.

It comes from the massive phosphate deposits in the Oulad Abdoun Basin near Khouribga, Morocco. These deposits are mined for phosphate, one of Morocco's biggest exports. The fossils are collected as a byproduct of the mining operations, saving them from certain destruction by the rock crusher.
