2.6" Rooted Crushing Mosasaur (Igdamanosaurus) Tooth - Morocco

This is an unusual Mosasaur tooth from Igdamanosaurus aegyptiacus, formerly assigned to the genus Globidens. Most Mosasaurs had sharp teeth that had evolved to grab slippery prey such as fish. Igdamanosaurus had semi-spherical teeth with rounded acorn-like points, which were much better suited for crushing tough armored prey like small turtles, ammonites, and bivalves.

The tooth has its original root still attached making it a fairly rare find.
