Description: Zarafasaura oceanis Fossil Tooth - Complete with Root - 100mm x 32mm Zarafasaura oceanis Fossil Tooth 6cm Description: Own a piece of ancient marine life with this Zarafasaura oceanis Fossil Tooth, a complete specimen with its root intact. This remarkable tooth is approximately 72–66 million years old, originating from the Maastrichtian era, the final stage of the Cretaceous period. Known for its sharp teeth and streamlined body, Zarafasaura oceanis was one of the most agile marine predators of its time. About Zarafasaura oceanis: Zarafasaura oceanis was a species of plesiosaur, a group of long-necked marine reptiles that thrived during the Late Cretaceous period. Unlike dinosaurs, plesiosaurs were fully aquatic, using their powerful flippers to navigate ancient seas. Zarafasaura fossils have been predominantly discovered in the phosphatic deposits of Morocco, offering a glimpse into the rich marine ecosystems of the Late Cretaceous. Scientific Significance: Zarafasaura oceanis was a graceful predator, using its interlocking teeth to catch slippery prey like fish and squid. Its fossils provide invaluable insights into the adaptation of marine reptiles to their aquatic environments. The preservation of teeth, like this specimen, helps paleontologists understand feeding habits and evolutionary trends in plesiosaurs. Zarafasaura fossils from Morocco have significantly enhanced our understanding of marine reptiles from the Late Cretaceous period. Perfect for Collectors and Enthusiasts: This rare Zarafasaura oceanis Fossil Tooth, complete with its root, is an exceptional addition for fossil collectors, paleontologists, and anyone fascinated by prehistoric marine reptiles. The Maastrichtian period, the final stage of the Cretaceous, was a time of dynamic evolutionary change before the mass extinction event. Owning a piece of history like this tooth bridges the gap between modern science and ancient oceans. Key Features: Age: 72-66 million years old, from the Maastrichtian period of the Late Cretaceous.
