Mosasaurus beaugei tooth, Cretaceous, MAR
A definite treat for every dinosaur fan!
Mosasaurs were gigantic marine reptiles that occupied the top of the food chain in the Cretaceous seas. The dinosaurs had very powerful jaws, which were not quite as flexible as those of today's scaly crawlers (snakes, lizards etc.), but in most cases were equipped with many pointed, similar teeth. A special joint in the lower jaw allowed it to be opened wide to accommodate large food such as low-flying pteropods or the young of various other marine reptiles.
The phosphate layers of the Ouled-Abdoun Basin in the northern foothills of the High Atlas in Morocco have preserved their bones and teeth particularly well.
