Mosasaur jaws are fossilized remains of large marine reptiles that lived during the Late Cretaceous period, around 70 to 66 million years ago. These reptiles were dominant ocean predators, with strong jaws and sharp or specialized teeth adapted to different diets. In Morocco, especially in the phosphate regions like Khouribga and Oulad Abdoun, several mosasaur species have been discovered
Note :The jaw is original and the teeth are 100% original, but they are composite.

Mosasaur jaws are fossilized remains of a group of extinct marine reptiles known as Mosasauridae that lived during the Late Cretaceous period. These reptiles were apex predators in ancient seas and are closely related to modern snakes and monitor lizards. The jaws of mosasaurs are characterized by their powerful bite, conical teeth, and flexible lower jawbones that enabled them to swallow large prey. Morocco, particularly the phosphate basins of Khouribga, Oulad Abdoun, and Ganntour, is one of the world’s richest sources of mosasaur fossils. A variety of mosasaur species have been discovered there, each with distinct jaw features adapted to different diets and ecological roles.
The diversity of mosasaur jaws found in Morocco offers critical insights into the evolution, adaptation, and ecological niches of these formidable marine reptiles. Each species’ jaw morphology reflects its role in the Cretaceous marine ecosystem, highlighting the region’s paleontological significance.
