Mosasauridae skull
Possibly Prognathodon anceps.
Maastrichtian (between 72 and 66 million years ago), Beni Smir, Khouribga Basin, Morocco
Length approx. 160 cm, corresponding to an adult individual of approx. 8 to 9 metres.
Fossil prepared by Théropodia palaeontologists in 2026.
Provenance: Stones and Minerals Fair, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines.
Full palaeontological expertise report by Dr Frédéric Lacombat and osteograph illustrating a complete fossil at 75% on request. Certificate of exit from French territory.
Conclusion of the palaeontological expertise:
"The specimen consists of an assemblage combining authentic fossil elements from the Maastrichtian phosphates of the Khouribga Basin with modern restorations and 3D prints designed to restore the complete anatomy of the skull. The ensemble faithfully respects the known morphology of the great mosasaurids and presents a satisfactory anatomical coherence. The quality of the preparation and restoration work is high and in line with the standards observed on the best Moroccan specimens currently held in private and institutional collections".
