Shipwreck Sale: Mososaur Giant Reptile Tooth, Lived 50-100 Million Years Ago

The Mososaur was a headliner in one of the Jurassic Park movies, seen leaping out of the water. They technically were not dinosaurs but aquatic lizards and scientists have said the Monitor Lizard is a distant relative.

While the Mososaur lived in the ocean and gave birth at sea, they needed to come to the surface to breathe. Look at the renderings of the actual skeletal fossils that have been dug. The tooth shown here has rooted material and possibly matrix that is obvious in the photo; the striations can be seen on the dark brown body of the tooth. That moutful of teeth looks like the predaor could just about eat anything it got its teeth into.
