Description
This authentic Globidens Mosasaur tooth is a fascinating fossil from a unique marine reptile that once dominated the Late Cretaceous seas. Unlike most Mosasaurs, Globidens evolved rounded, dome-shaped teeth specially adapted for crushing hard-shelled prey such as ammonites, turtles, and clams — a true apex predator with a specialized bite.
This specimen, discovered in the phosphate beds of Morocco’s Khouribga Basin, is securely mounted in a Riker display frame — a black, glass-topped case that beautifully showcases the fossil while keeping it protected. The tooth displays natural enamel texture, rich coloration, and unmistakable spherical form characteristic of this rare genus.
An ideal piece for collectors, educators, or anyone interested in marine paleontology, this fossil connects you directly to life in the ancient seas of the Late Cretaceous.
