    Nicely preserved Platecarpus Ptychodon (Mosasaurus) tooth with root nicely displayed on matrix.

    This particular tooth was found in Kouribga Morocco.

    Size of tooth (incl. root): 5cm in length

    The matrix also contains several fish vertabreas and bone fragments.

    Small teeth with bicarinate higly laterally compressed crowns, subequal lingal and labial surfaces bearing verticals striations that are more numerous on the lingual face and developed only on the two thirds of the crown height. The dental morphology of P.ptychodon is quite distinct from those of other mosasaurids, such that this taxon (which was erected on the basis of isolated teeth only) is provisionally regarded as valid.
