Description
Exceptionally preserved Dyrosaurus Crocodile Fossil Skull sat on bedrock
Condition Report
With minimal preparation to the bone tissue or teeth; 50% of the teeth are still in there original position, seated in the maxilla and mandible jaw the rest of the teeth have been replaced and re-seated, these of a slightly darker caramel colour. The bone is in excellent condition with distinct porous like texture, where the Crocodile sensory organs would have been attached, sometimes referred to as Scute.
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.
