This aquatic lizard dinosaur was large roamed Morocco in the late Cretaceous period around 110 million years ago.

It is difficult to find teeth complete.

No Restoration is evident on this tooth.

These teeth come from the massive phosphate deposits in the Oulad Abdoun Basin near Khouribga, Morocco. These deposits are mined for phosphate, one of Morocco's biggest exports.

The fossils are collected as a buy product of the mining operations, saving them from certain destruction by the rock crushers.

We visited Morocco in 2017 and visited areas where Nomads dug for Dinosaur fossils - these were extremely difficult to find.
