This is a huge tooth from an extinct Cretaceous Plesiosaur. 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 tooth is wonderfully 3-dimensional and beautifully preserved. The corrugated, multi-colored enamel is excellent, and the tip shows beautiful, natural wear. The fossil has superb natural color and textbook shape. This is a great example of a Plesiosaur tooth from the Cretaceous seas, one of the best ones we have ever had.
