This lower mosasaur jaw is from the Cretaceous phosphate beds of Morocco.  This is a nearly complete dentary of the mosasaur species Prognathodon anceps.   I purchased this jaw field prepped.  I have completely removed the jaw from the matrix and mounted on a custom quilted maple base that I made (included).  The jaw is saturated with a stabilizer, however portions are thin and fragile.  The jaw measures 32 inches long and is about 9 1/2 inches at the widest including the teeth.   This is from a large mosasaur.  The thickness of the jaw ranges from 1/8 inch to 3 1/2 inches.   Teeth average 2 to 2 1/8" long not including the root.  On average the teeth stick up about 2.75 to 3 inches above  the jaw.  The maple base measures 16" x 6.5" x 2.5: thick.  Total height of the piece including base is 20".  There is repair to several teeth and some filler on cracks in the teeth.   All teeth are original to the jaw.   There was missing bone near the back of the jaw and is filled with matrix.  Sev
