Ruler of the Cretaceous Seas

Mosasaurs were marine reptiles, not dinosaurs. They lived from about 100 to 66 million years ago. The largest were nearly 50 feet long.

They died out in the same event that ended the dinosaurs. This Cretaceous marine reptile tooth is a piece of that lost world.

Built to Bite

Mosasaur teeth were cone-shaped, ideal for catching fish. They were shed and replaced regularly.

Scientists read the diet from tooth shapes, stomach contents and bite marks. Add this pocket fossil specimen to our Prehistoric Collection and Natural History Collection.
