Description
**First Time At Auction**
North America, Kansas, Cretaceous, ca. 145.5 to 65.5 million years ago; North America, Illinois, Pennsylvanian age, ca. 318 to 299 million years ago; North Africa, Morocco, Cretaceous, 145.5 to 65.5 million years ago. This is a fantastic collection of fossils from prehistoric creatures, including sharks, a Spinosaurus, and a sea scorpion! The 2-spool shaped fossilized vertebrae are from prehistoric sharks and the tooth is from a Edestus heinrichi, a truly frightening shark-like fish with jaws that are described as curved blades studded with serrated teeth, gaining the nickname scissor tooth shark. The other tooth is from the Spinosaurus dinosaur, with a warm enamel and beige root and interior layers with coarse sand particles. The last fossil is a head from a eurypterids or sea scorpion within a slate matrix - the segmented sections and eyes lobes are visible and well preserved! Size scorpion fossil matrix: 4" L x 3" W (10.2 cm x 7.6 cm); dino tooth: 1.25" L x 0.35" W (3.2 cm x 0.9 cm)
Provenance: private Hagar collection, Wildwood, Missouri, USA
