Cretaceous

Much coveted unique specimen: juvenile tooth of a Tyrannosaurus, guaranteed genuine fossil!Very well preserved, extremely rare piece!The denture of Tyrannosaurus rex is one of the most striking features of that dinosaur and plays an important role in its life as an apex predator of the late Cretaceous period. With a length of up to 30 centimeters, Tyrannosaurus rex's teeth were not only exceptionally large, but also strong and sharp, ideal for ripping flesh. Inside the jaws were up to 60 teeth, which were replaced in the course of the animal's life. This was important as they were worn down by constant use. This tooth is a juvenile tooth, which means that it was not yet fully developed.It comes in the box shown, including the label.Age: Hell Creek formation, Maastrichtian, Upper Cretaceous;Locality:  Wyoming, USASize: approx. 1 x 0,7 x 0,3 cmColors on product photos may differ from those of the original specimen for technical reasons.

A great gift, presented in a floating frame!Age: CretaceousLocality: MoroccoSize: approx. 3 x 1,5 cmFrame size: 7 x 7 x 2 cmMosasaurs were giant marine reptiles occupying the top of the food chain in the Cretaceous seas. They had very powerful jaws, not quite as flexible as those of today's squamata (snakes, lizards, etc.), but in most cases equipped with many sharp, similar teeth. A special joint in their mandible allowed it to open up wide and take in large prey such as low-flying pterosaurs or young animals of various other marine reptiles. The Ouled Abdoun Basin in the northern foothills of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco has preserved their bones and teeth particularly well within its phosphate layers.Upon purchase, you will receive the tooth shown in the picture, including the exact label.The colors in the pictures may differ slightly from the original due to technical reasons.

Age: Upper Cretaceous, Maastrichtian;Locality: Ouled Bouali, west of Qued Zem, MoroccoSize: 13 x 10,5cm; Fossil: 6 x 2 cmThis fossil tooth comes from a Mosasaurus, a giant marine reptile that lived about 70 to 66 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous period. Mosasaurs were not dinosaurs but were closely related to modern monitor lizards and snakes. They inhabited the warm seas that once covered large parts of North Africa.In Morocco, especially in the Khouribga region (the so-called Phosphate Basin), numerous fossils have been discovered over the years — including teeth, bones, and even complete skeletons of mosasaurs. The local limestone and phosphate layers provided excellent conditions for fossil preservation.The tooth itself is conical, slightly curved, and often still shows fine cutting edges. Its shape reveals that the Mosasaurus was a predatory carnivore, feeding on fish, ammonites, and smaller marine animals.The colors on the photo may differ slightly from the original for technical reasons.
