Onchopristus Rostral Spine/tooth, Sawfish Fossil (1.40") – Cretaceous, Morocco

Onchopristus Rostral Spine/tooth, Sawfish Fossil (1.40") – Cretaceous, MoroccoAn Onchopristus rostral spine from the Kem Kem Beds in Morocco. This extinct genus of sawfish lived during the Late Cretaceous, about 95100 million years ago, in the same ancient river systems that once hosted Spinosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. The rostral spines formed part of the long, tooth studded snout (rostrum) of the sawfish, which it used to slash through schools of fish. This specimen shows fine preservation with natural color and texture.
