Jurassic Jewellery
A unique range of fossil and meteorite specimens - as well as a wide range of genuine fossil and meteorite jewellery

 

A HUGE Range of genuine fossil and meteorite specimens.

I have supplied fossils and meteorites to many world famous museums and galleries, including the Natural History Museum in London and the San Diego Air And Space Museum.

I have even supplied fossils for use on TV programmes and theatre shows.
I have been asked to supply fossils that have been seen on screen in a Channel 4 Television show, and also a touring theatre production.

This is a  fantastic LARGE Fossil Mosaurus tooth.

This is on a matrix - and while these Moroccan fossils are often set within a faked matrix my thinking with this one is that the position of the tooth in the matrix is unlike the faked ones
They tend to be placed very centrally, whereas this is very much offset.


 
The tooth measures 4cm and the matrix  9.5cm across

This fossil set comes bagged and labelled  and is complete with a Mosasaurus certificate of authenticity -  and is ready to give as a gift! - or why not just keep it yourself !!

 

The Mosasaurus was a fearsome prehistoric beast, much like a crocodile They were one of the successes of the Cretaceous era and grew up to 17m in length and weighing up to 20 tonnes.

 Much of their day would have been spent swimming slowly near the seabed looking for suitable prey to attack. Their diet consisted of slow moving animals like ammonites, birds and turtles but they would also tackle larger and swifter prey, such as sharks and plesiosaurs, when the opportunity arose.

As the mosasaurs were not fast swimmers they would have stalked their prey using natural cover provided by seaweed and rocks. Only when the prey was within striking range would the mosasaur propel itself forward. Being caught in a mosasaur’s jaws meant almost certain death. Although giant mosasaurs were the top predators in the sea, they were still vulnerable to attack. One mosasaur fossil bears the marks of a shark bite in its spine.
