Prognathodon Tooth Location

Discovered in Morocco, Oued Zem

The crocodile jaw exhibits powerful teeth adapted for a predatory lifestyle. This reptile\'s jaw structure enabled it to hunt a diverse range of prey, making it a dominant predator in its habitat.

Size Matters: The crocodile jaw reveals a remarkable range in tooth size, from small and sharp for piercing to large and robust for crushing. This diversity in tooth size reflects their dietary habits, allowing them to grip and slice smaller prey and crush the shells or bones of larger prey.

Function in Predation: The front teeth of the crocodile were ideal for grabbing and holding onto agile prey, such as fish and small mammals. The larger, more robust teeth towards the back of the jaw were used to crush and break the bones and shells of larger, more resistant prey.

Why Missing Teeth and Cracks? This crocodile jaw from Morocco shows signs of wear and tear, including cracks and missing teeth, due to a combination of geological and environmental factors. Over millions of years, natural forces like erosion and shifting sediments, along with the fossilization process, contribute to these imperfections. Environmental conditions during burial also play roles in the preservation state of the fossils.
