- Cretaceous period (~70 million years ago)
This is a genuine Zarafasaura fossil tooth, dating back to the Late Cretaceous (~70 million years ago). Zarafasaura was a large plesiosaur, a marine reptile with a long neck, streamlined body, and powerful flippers that allowed it to thrive in the warm seas of prehistoric Morocco.
The tooth has the classic slender, conical shape used for catching slippery prey such as fish and squid. Fossil material from Zarafasaura is rare compared to more common marine reptiles.
Please note: Tooth was glued after excavation on 2 spots.
Did you know?
Unlike the long-necked image in movies, plesiosaurs like Zarafasaura could not bend their necks like snakes instead, they used their whole body to chase down prey.
