20913 - Nicely Preserved 1.63 Inch Partially Rooted Elasmosaur (Zarafasaura oceanis) Tooth Brittlestar ParaphillipsinellaIt is a well preserved tooth. The color of its enamel varies between tones of cream and brown. This tooth was broken in small sector during the initial collecting efforts but all parts were put back together and there is no restoration and no fabrication. The broken and subsequently glued areas are indicated in one of the images. Elasmosaurus teeth from the Upper Cretaceous from the Oulad Abdoun Basin are relatively more scarce than the Mosasaurus.
