LiamL Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi forum, I'm currently looking at a Plesiosaur tooth from Morocco. The listing says, preserved in phosphatic matrix. Does this mean it was found like this, or placed in this by the seller? Thanks Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miocene_Mason Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Possibly, do you have a picture? “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossildude19 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Welcome to the Forum, Liam. There appears to be a crack in the matrix corresponding to the break in the tooth. I would take that as a good sign that the tooth was not placed on the matrix, but, ... you never really know, with Moroccan stuff. @LordTrilobite Regards, Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

LordTrilobite Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 Yeah that looks good. Just a repair job. Nothing suspicious here. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
