Exceptionally Rare Phosphate Dyrosaurus Crocodile
Condition Report
Truly unique Crocodile Fossil specimen, with excellent preservation to bone tissue and teeth. an extraordinary Orange. colouringThe Dyrosaurus Skull and lower Jaw on bedrock, contained safely in burlap plaster lifting jacket, in place during and post excavation for transporting and viewing the specimen.
Remarkable preservation and condition, with the original teeth still in place in the upper Jaw, there is no malformation nor crushing, which was particularly common in the fossil material from this location.
From our blog report June 2010...
Further to my earlier blog report from the phosphate fossil beds of western Morocco. In this my claims of fossil beds becoming 3 metres in depth and too difficult or dangerous to work successfully are slightly incorrect. we received news today directly from Kouribga region that in fact the diggers are down to 3 metres now without any luck at all, of finding any reasonable specimens, so in fact the reality is worse than previously reported.
