This is a genuine Zarafasaura Oceanis fossil tooth. Zarafasaura was a large plesiosaur, a marine reptile with a long neck, streamlined body, and powerful flippers that allowed it to thrive in the warm seas of prehistoric Morocco.

The tooth has the classic slender, conical shape used for catching slippery prey such as fish and squid. Fossil material from Zarafasaura is rare compared to more common marine reptiles.
