Rooted 1.1" Cretaceous Fossil Crocodile Tooth - Morocco
This is a Cretaceous aged fossil crocodile tooth from the Kem Kem Beds of Morocco. It most likely belongs to the genus Elosuchus. There is a repair to the tip of the tooth, but it has a nice root present which is unusual.
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.
