This is a very nice Plesiosaur tooth from the Cretaceous of Morocco. Plesiosaurs were large, vicious marine reptiles. They had extremely long necks and fairly lengthy tails. They swam by means of legs and feet that had developed into oarlike paddles. This dagger-shaped tooth is extremely 3-dimensional and wonderfully preserved. The corrugated, brownish enamel is beautifully displayed, and a portion of the root is still intact. The fossil has superb color and contrasts well with the sand-colored matrix. It is nicely positioned on the block of sandstone - NATURAL, NOT COMPOSITED on the plate. This is a great example of a Plesiosaur tooth from the Cretaceous seas.
