#pluridens

[mesozoicmarket]

A mosasaur tooth of a halisaurine, possibly Pluridens serpentis from the Couche III in the phosphate mines in the Ouled Abdoun Basin of Morocco. The teeth of this species can be distinguished from its smaller relative Halisaurus arambourgi by size and the enamel folds towards the base of the crown. Unfortunately, the folds are faint and not well defined in this specimen.
