Moroccan Dinosaur Teeth Fossil

Not kidding folks----this dinosaur fossil is real and authenticated. Found in Morocco, this tooth is a great example of how massive dinosaurs were millions of years ago. Kept in the chunk of rock it was found in, this is a great item to display in your home or classroom. Any dinosaur fan will absolutely love this item. The dinosaurs are now up-close and personal with this fabulous dinosaur tooth. Inspire your child or students to become an paleontologist with this awesome find! Recommended for older children due to potentially sharp edges on the fossil.

This tooth actually comes from a Mosasaurus. The name means "Meuse lizard", because it was found in the Meuse River (Latin Mosa + Greek sauros lizard). As with all mosasaurs, their legs and feet are modified into paddle-like flippers, with the forelimbs larger than the hindlimbs. The first mosasaur ever discovered, Mosasaurus hoffmanni, was excavated in a mine near Maastricht, the Netherlands in the 1770s. The beast was later named for the nearby river Meuse.
