Sarcosushus Imperator was discovered in Gadoufaoua, Niger in the Ténéré Desert, which is part of the Sahara. The firstSarcosuchus teeth and scutes were recovered by the French paleontologist Albert-Félix de Lapparent, in the 1940s or 1950s. Paul Sereno's trip, in 1997 and the follow-up trip in 2000 to Niger  recovered partial skeletons, numerous skulls and 20 tons of assorted other fossils from the deposits of the Elrhaz Formation, which has been dated as late Aptian or early Albian stages Sarcosushus fossils have been found from the area of Nalut in northwestern Libya. These fossils are from the Cabao Formation, which is likely to be Hauterivian to Barremian in age. Sarcosuchus is NOT FOUND in Morocco.The Crocodiles from Morocco are more than likely Elosuchus.Just because it is a fossil Croc tooth does not make it a Sarcosuchus Imperator.Genuine Supercroc teeth are exxtremely difficult to find and very little fossil material is coming from Niger due to civil unrest .I have a few teeth left from my private collection.Please email me for details and prices. This tooth is very large amd measures 70 mm . No repairs or restoration on any of the Supercroc teeth.

Elosuchus is an extinct genus of neosuchian crocodyliform that lived during the Early Cretaceous of what is now North Africa (Morocco, Algeria and Niger). The genus contains two species, E. cherifiensis from Algeria and Morocco, formerly described as a species of Thoracosaurus by Lavocat,and E. felixi from Niger. The genus has been recognized to be separate from Thoracosaurus by Broin  in 2002, who created the family Elosuchidae that also contains the genus Stolokrosuchus from Niger Elosuchus had an elongated snout like a gharial and was probably a fully aquatic animal.

Ichthyosaur Rostrum with teeth.
Stenopterygius Quadriscissus
Holzmaden Germany .Jurassic Age 160 Million years old.
Measures 15 inches x 5 1/2 inches
price 395 euro. + shipping
 
Ichthyosaurs averaged 2–4 meters (6.6–13 ft) in length (although a few were smaller, and some species grew much larger), with a porpoise-like head and a long, toothed snout. Built for speed, like modern tuna, some ichthyosaurs appear also to have been deep divers, like some modern whales (Motani, 2000). It has been estimated that ichthyosaurs could swim at speeds up to 40 kilometres per hour (25 mph).[1] Similar to modern cetaceans such as whales and dolphins, they were air-breathing.

According to weight estimates by Ryosuke Motani[2] a 2.4 meters (7.9 ft) Stenopterygius weighed around 163–168 kilograms (360–370 lb)

Nothosaurus Mirabilis and Hybodus Shark teeth on original matrix.Beautiful fossil. Triassic age Baden-Wurttenberg Germany SOLD
 

Nothosaurus was a semi-oceanic animal which probably had a lifestyle similar to that of today's seals. It was about 4 metres (13 ft), with long, webbed toes and possibly a fin on its tail.[1] When swimming, Nothosaurus would use its tail, legs, and webbed feet to propel and steer it through the water. The skull was broad and flat,with long jaws, lined with needle teeth, it probably caught fish and other marine creatures. Nothosaurus hunted by sneaking up slowly on prey, such as shoals of small fish, then putting on a last-minute burst of speed. Once caught, few animals would be able to shake themselves free from the mouth of Nothosaur
