These unusual Globidens teeth are from Morocco and are available on the website now priced at £14.99 each.

Unlike the long, pointed teeth of most Mosasaurs, Globidens evolved short, rounded, almost pebble-like teeth that were perfectly adapted for crushing hard-shelled prey.

Globidens was a specialised member of the Mosasaur family, living during the Late Cretaceous. Rather than chasing fast-moving fish, it is thought to have fed primarily on hard-shelled animals such as ammonites, clams, turtles and sea urchins. Its distinctive, rounded teeth worked much like a pestle, allowing it to crush shells with remarkable force before swallowing the softer animal inside. This unique adaptation makes Globidens one of the most recognisable and specialised members of the Mosasaur family.

🦴 Fossil Friday: Tyrannosaurus rex Tooth 🦖

Few fossils are as instantly recognisable as a Tyrannosaurus rex tooth. Even if you've never seen one in person, you've probably spotted one in a museum, a film (JP?!), or maybe even in a toy dinosaur's mouth!

These impressive teeth could grow to over 30cm (12 inches) long including the root, making them some of the largest teeth of any meat-eating dinosaur. Unlike the thin, blade-like teeth of many predators, T. rex teeth were thick, incredibly strong, and built to withstand the enormous forces of their super strong bites.

The edges of each tooth were lined with tiny serrations, rather like a steak knife. Combined with one of the most powerful bites ever measured in a land animal, they allowed Tyrannosaurus to grip prey, slice through flesh, and even crush bone. In fact, fossilised bones have been found with unmistakable T. rex bite marks, giving us direct evidence of just how powerful these jaws really were.

Like modern sharks and crocodiles, Tyrannosaurus didn't rely on the same teeth for its entire life. As teeth became worn or damaged, replacements gradually grew beneath them, ready to take over when needed.

✨ Fun fact: Tyrannosaurus teeth are often nicknamed "killer bananas" by fossil fans because of their thick, curved shape. When you see one of these things up close, it's clear to see why this is a perfect fruity Moniker!
