From the historic phosphate-rich beds of Khouribga, Morocco, this captivating fossil represents the skull of a Plesiosaur – one of the most iconic and enigmatic marine reptiles of the Cretaceous seas. Estimated to be around 100 million years old, this well-preserved specimen offers a rare glimpse into the ancient oceans that once covered North Africa.
Measuring approximately 43 cm in length, this skull showcases remarkable detail, including visible bone structure and several preserved teeth — a testament to the Plesiosaur’s role as an agile marine predator. Known for their long necks, strong flippers, and streamlined bodies, Plesiosaurs were swift swimmers, using precise movements to catch fish and other prey.
Mounted on a custom display base, this fossil is not only a scientifically significant specimen but also a visually striking piece for display. The preservation quality and natural history make it ideal for private collectors, educators, or anyone with a passion for prehistoric life.
A beautiful and authentic Cretaceous fossil from Morocco’s world-renowned phosphate deposits – this Plesiosaur skull is a rare treasure of Earth's distant past.

NeutralFast shipping, but unfortunately, the stand wasn't included as promised. The fossil consists of various bones and teeth from many different animals and is quite a pretty conglomerate. For the relatively low price, it's fine. A decorative piece.
