The name Zarafasaura combines 'Zarafa,' an Arabic term meaning ‘giraffe,’ with 'Saurus,' Greek for ‘lizard.’ The species' name translates to ‘daughter of the sea’ in Latin. Paleontologist Dr. Peggy Vincent from the National Museum of Natural History in Paris, France, and her team first described this species in 2011 based on incomplete skull remains from Morocco.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZarafasaura Oceanis was approximately 23 feet (7 meters) long and lived around 72 to 66 million years ago. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlesiosaurus is just one genus of many that form the family Plesiosauriae.

Rarely does a fossil emerge intact and flawless; most have undergone some restoration, and some are altered manually to improve their appearance. Moroccan workers are highly skilled in excavating and preserving these natural treasures, though natural cracks are often visible on the surface. These cracks are part of the fossil's natural beauty and are not regarded as flaws. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Karkouri25","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51944190509336,"sku":"06ALL188","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1250\/0441\/files\/5U8A5051_0b668008-2da3-43ce-9619-f35cfa67f9e9.jpg?v=1775953467","url":"https:\/\/www.fossilageminerals.com\/products\/1-4-plesiosaur-zarafasaura-tooth-fossil-in-matrix-cretaceous-dinosaur-era-coa-06all188","provider":"Fossil Age Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
