Product information "Steneosaurus tooth, Holzmaden, GER"
Tooth of a marine crocodile in matrix.
Age: Lower Jurassic, Posidonia shale
Locality: Holzmaden, Baden-Württemberg, Germany
Size: 1,5 cm, matrix:14 x 16,5 x 2 cm
Because of its wonderfully preserved fossils, the Holzmaden deposit is world famous. Among huge quantities of Dactylioceras ammonites lie complete ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, pterosaurs and marine crocodiles. It is assumed that weak water circulation created anoxia
(complete lack of oxygen) at the bottom, so that scavengers and decomposers could not disintegrate the bodies of dead animals.
The colors on the photo may differ slightly from those of the original specimen.
