However we are seeing a few delays with customs checks that can take several days and weeks to complete depending on your country. An authentic fossilised tooth from a mosasaurus — a giant, carnivorous, marine lizard that lived until about 66 million years ago.

We pride ourselves in being one of the best natural interior design studios in the world, so sourcing genuine specimens is one of our top priorities. Customs clearance charges and fees may be payable on items/goods (excluding personal correspondence) entering the destination country including the EU from the UK.But where exactly the mosasaur branch fits relative to the other major lizard groups has been an incredibly polarizing issue.

Mosasaurus was a prehistoric reptile that swam, having adapted legs into flippers (similar to the evolution of whales). The customs authorities in the destination country and the customs thresholds in place determine if charges are due on imported goods. All of that motion happens post-mortem, when the soft tissue surrounding the developing teeth decays.
