Pterosaur Teeth from Morocco: Fossils from the Cretaceous Seas
Pterosaur teeth from Morocco are commonly found in the Kem Kem Basin and are primarily attributed to the genus Siroccopteryx (Coloborhynchus moroccensis). These teeth are typically from the Late Cretaceous period, dating around 100 million years ago, and belonged to a large pterosaur species with a wingspan of 12-15 feet. The teeth are often sold as high-quality specimens in a display box.
How to Identify Authentic Pterosaur Teeth
Pterosaur teeth varied significantly by species, ranging from hundreds of tiny, hooked teeth used for filter-feeding to large, tusk-like teeth for capturing prey, while some pterosaurs were entirely toothless, possessing only bird-like beaks.
