Nine Phytosaur (Redondasaurus) Teeth In Sandstone - New Mexico

This is an absolutely killer display specimen featuring nine, Phytosaur (Redondasaurus) teeth still partially embedded in the sandstone in which they were found. The teeth are closely associated together and most have excellent preservation with good enamel and fine serrations. You can see parts of several other teeth going into the rock. The exposed teeth have been prepared so that they display in a very aesthetic manner within the rock. A true collector piece!

Phytosaurs looked similar to modern day crocodiles with some minor differences. The main one being that their nostrils were up high on the head instead of at the very front of the snout. They grew up to 16 feet in length and were certainly one of the dominant predators at the time.
