This is a wonderful Plesiosaur tooth from the Cretaceous of Morocco. Plesiosaurs were large, vicious marine reptiles that had extremely long necks and fairly lengthy tails. They swam by means of legs and feet that had developed into oar-like paddles. This dagger-shaped tooth is extremely 3-dimensional and well preserved. The corrugated, brownish enamel is beautifully displayed, and the tip of the tooth is nicely intact. A large portion of the root of the tooth is still preserved. The fossil has excellent color and contrasts well with the sandy matrix. The tooth is nicely showcased on the block of sandstone - NATURAL, NOT COMPOSITED on the plate. This is a fine example of a Plesiosaur tooth from the Cretaceous seas.
