What in the world?!

I saw this fossil online.

Does anyone know what it is? It is some jaw with teeth in matrix but what is it from?

It is from Oued Zem, Morocco.

Thanks 

(This is the only picture I have)

Yes, Schizorhiza, if the name hasn't changed.  

That is a wonderful specimen! :wub:

It is being sold for quite cheap.

Worth considering? Are these kind of pieces rare? Can you see anything unusual?

I've seen lots of the teeth, but usually on their own. 

Big sections like this are quite unusual. 

I would be slightly worried that some of the top teeth we can see have been cemented on, but I don't think so.

Looks like a perfect specimen and if they price is right don't hesitate and take it.
