Lot 1754
Super Crocodile Skull, 33 Inches Long, 45-70 Million Years Old. Dryosaurus phosphaticus, from the phosphate mines of Morocco. Sharks teeth from this location are common, but crocodiles are not. This spectacular skull is a wonderful, creamy white color on a brown, sandstone base. As an extra bonus, there are ten one-inch-long sharp teeth on one side of the jaw, as well as a couple of teeth and sockets on the other side. The crocodile skull is surprisingly slender, tapering down from a 10-inch-wide head to a 2-inch-wide snout with its two nostrils visible at the tip. The lower jaw is not present, but the skull rests flat on its limestone base for an outstanding and dramatic display. This sea-going crocodile would have been over 15 feet long. For domestic shipping, add $250.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 2,500.
