Description Description: Crocodyliform Reptile Skull. Dryosaurus phosphaticus was a huge 15-25 foot long marine reptile that somewhat resembled a marine crocodile but with a longer and more narrow snout. This large 20 inch long skull is 45-70 million years old and was found in the phosphate mines of Khourigba, Morocco. Sharks teeth are fairly common from this location but reptile skulls are not. This spectacular skull is a creamy white color on a brown sandstone base. There are six .5 inch long sharp teeth on one side of the jaw. The skull is unusually slender tapering down from 8 inches wide hear to a 2 inch wide snout with its two nostrils visible at the tip. The lower jaw is missing but the skull rests flat on its limestone base for a dramatic display.Add $25 for domestic shipping. Estimated Value $400 - 550. Categories:
