Up for sale is a genuine 5,1 Inches Mosasaurus (Prognathodon Currii ) tooth fossil embedded in its original matrix, showcasing an authentic and natural state with no repairs or restoration. This fossil dates back to the Late Cretaceous (~66 million years ago) and was unearthed in the phosphate deposits of the Sidi Chennane Basin, Morocco.

Prognathodon Curri is a species of large marine mosasaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. It was named in honor of George Currier, a paleontologist who contributed to the study of mosasaurs. This mosasaur is known for its robust skull and powerful jaws, which were adapted for crushing prey such as shellfish, large fish, and possibly other marine reptiles. It had a stocky body and flippers, making it well-suited for a predatory lifestyle in the ancient oceans.
