Mosasaur teeth are highly abundant because these apex marine predators, similar to modern sharks, continuously shed and replaced their teeth throughout their lives. This natural process occurred over millions of years, leading to vast deposits of fossilized teeth.
Found in the rich phosphate deposits of the Khouribga region in Morocco, these teeth are scientifically significant, offering insights into the Mosasaurids' diet and adaptations before their extinction at the end of the Cretaceous period (about 66 million years ago).
