A Certificate of Authenticity, which has a color photo on it of the exact item you purchased, will accompany this specimen.
Here is a very interesting set of grinding teeth from a Phacodus Punctatus.
From the late Cretaceous (85 to 66 million years) in Morocco. Found near Khourigba.
The Phacodus used these rounded teeth, and they made excellent crushers and grinders.
If you look closely, or better, use a loupe, you can see tiny \"dimples\" in each tooth. When I first saw one of these, many years ago, I wondered if they were real. Then I used a loupe to see the \"dimples\" and knew they were real. The teeth here are in remarkable pristine condition.
The teeth on this plate are about 1.55 inches total length. The plate is about 4.2 inches at the longest measurement, and it weighs 8.95 oz. The white things you see all over the plate are the fossil remnants of other bones.
There are also a number of very interesting bones showing in the matrix, including jawbone.
Commercial phosphates are big business in Morocco. This piece was saved by being pulled from the pile of rocks on their way to being crushed into phosphates.
