Here is a wonderful tooth from a Plesiosaur. This Elasmosaurus tooth is from the Cretaceous deposits of Morocco. Plesiosaurs were large, vicious marine reptiles. They had extremely long necks and fairly lengthy tails and swam by means of legs and feet that had developed into oarlike paddles. This tooth is wonderfully 3-dimensional and beautifully preserved. The corrugated, multi-colored enamel is excellent, and the tip exhibits almost no wear from use, which is quite interesting. This dagger-shaped tooth still has a portion of the root intact. The fossil has superb natural color and contrasts well with the sandstone matrix. The tooth is nicely showcased on the block of sandstone that also contains a few vertebrae. And the tooth is FULLY NATURAL, NOT COMPOSITED on the plate. This is a great example of a large Plesiosaur tooth from the Cretaceous seas.
