Mosasaurus beaugei tooth in matrix

Today’s fossil is a Mosasaurus beaugei tooth from the Cretaceous of Khourigba, Morocco. This particular specimen is the largest and nicest tooth in my current collection. Unlike most teeth from Morocco, this tooth is not composited on the matrix and is completely natural. The tooth measures almost 4 inches along its leading curve and exhibits an excellent root and well preserved enamel. Also of note are various bone fragments scattered around the tooth possibly belonging to the same Mosasaurus.
