    Product description
    These fossils were found in the major phosphate basins in Morocco – a country which is the world’s 3rd largest producer of phosphate and contains about 75% of the world’s estimated reserves. Phosphate rocks contain high concentrations of phosphate minerals which are mined to produce phosphate fertilizers for the agricultural sector. It is the resource which drives modern agriculture.Morocco’s vast phosphate resources (found mainly in the western part of the country) are found in Upper Cretaceous, Paleocene and Eocene sediments which also yield abundant fossil deposits from this time (around 70-45 million years ago). These fossils are the byproduct of phosphate extraction and include marine vertebrates (sharks, bony fish, reptiles), sea birds and a small number of terrestrial mammals.Mostly partial examples; Specific fossils that may be included are teeth from three species in the group of large marine reptiles known as mosasaurs: Mosasaurus, Globidens, and Platecarpus. Shark teeth include those from the goblin shark-like Scapanorhynchus, eagle-ray Myliobatis, and the sand shark Odontaspis. There also may be fish teeth from the fanged Enchodus lybicus and Enchodus elegans and individual ‘saw’ teeth from the primitive saw fish Ctenopristis nougareti. Other discoveries may include vertebra, crocodile & Squalicorax teeth & more! A Great Mix For Fossils Digs and scholarly presentations. A Superior Value from Rockhound's First Choice Supply.
