Globidens phosphaticus - Shell-Crushing Mosasaur
Globidens phosphaticus - Shell-Crushing Mosasaur
Late Cretaceous, Approx. 70–66 Million Years Old - Khouribga, Morocco
Powerful, rare, and steeped in scientific intrigue, this exceptional Globidens phosphaticus fossil offers a window into the apex predators of the Late Cretaceous oceans. Unlike its sleeker mosasaur relatives, Globidens was built for strength — its distinctive, rounded teeth evolved to crush the hard shells of ammonites, turtles, and other marine prey, earning it the title of “the shell crusher.”
Sourced from the renowned phosphate beds of Khouribga, Morocco, this specimen represents one of the most specialized and rarely encountered mosasaurs. With portions of the jaw and tooth structure often preserved, it combines visual impact with paleontological importance.
