Late Cretaceous (~92 million years ago) | Goulmima, Morocco
This remarkable Manemergus anguirostris fossil comes from a rare species of long-necked plesiosaur that once glided through the warm, shallow seas of the ancient Tethys Ocean. Unearthed in the marine deposits of Goulmima, Morocco, it dates to the Turonian stage of the Late Cretaceous.
With its sleek body, extended neck, and sharp interlocking teeth, Manemergus was a swift and efficient predator of its time — a captivating trace of the ocean life that thrived in Africa nearly 100 million years ago.
