Collection: Authentic Plesiosaurus teeth collection

Authentic Zarafasaura oceanis Tooth Fossils

Zarafasaura oceanis is a rare marine reptile belonging to the Plesiosauria, a group of fully aquatic predators that lived during the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian). Unlike dinosaurs, plesiosaurs inhabited ancient oceans and fed primarily on fish and other marine prey.

All Zarafasaura tooth fossils offered here originate from Khouribga, Morocco, primarily from marine phosphate deposits that are well known for producing Late Cretaceous marine vertebrates. These teeth are attributed to Zarafasaura oceanis based on morphology and geological context.

Geological & Scientific Context

The Moroccan marine phosphate deposits date to the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) and represent shallow marine environments rich in fish, sharks, and marine reptiles. These conditions allowed vertebrate remains, including teeth, to fossilize with excellent preservation.

Zarafasaura teeth are typically slender and conical, well suited for gripping slippery prey such as fish and cephalopods. Their morphology distinguishes them from mosasaur and shark teeth commonly found in the same deposits.

Ideal for Collectors, Education & Display

Authentic Zarafasaura teeth are prized by fossil collectors, educators, and natural history enthusiasts. Each specimen is individually selected and photographed, ensuring you receive the exact fossil shown.

Authenticity & Verification

We place great importance on the authenticity of every fossil we offer. All Zarafasaura oceanis tooth fossils in this collection are carefully examined to confirm they are genuine natural specimens and not modern replicas or artificial composites.

Each specimen is evaluated based on:

• Natural enamel texture and fossilized coloration
• Correct tooth morphology consistent with plesiosaur teeth
• Geological consistency with Moroccan marine phosphate deposits
• Natural wear patterns resulting from fossilization

Any stabilization, reinforcement, or minor restoration (if present) is always transparently disclosed in the individual product description. We do not sell misleading or reconstructed specimens.

Common Questions About Fossil Authenticity

Are Zarafasaura oceanis teeth real fossils?
Yes. All specimens are genuine fossil teeth dating back approximately 70 million years to the Late Cretaceous.

Where were these fossils found?
All specimens originate from marine fossil deposits in Morocco.
