Plesiosaur Zarafasaura

Zarafasaura Oceanis belongs to the Elasmosauridae family. Its name combines Zarafa (“giraffe”) and Saurus (“lizard”), with the species name meaning “daughter of the sea”. Described in 2011 by Dr. Peggy Vincent from fossils found in Morocco, this marine reptile grew up to 23 feet (7 meters) long and lived 72–66 million years ago. A carnivore, it hunted fish and other marine creatures in prehistoric oceans.

Plesiosauria is the larger family of marine reptiles that includes Plesiosaurus, which existed from 228–61.6 million years ago. Fossils of 938 specimens have been found. Popular art often blends different plesiosaur types, influenced by legends like the Loch Ness Monster.

Please be aware of the nature of fossils:

Being buried underground for millions of years under immense pressure can be harsh. No fossil emerges fully intact; most require some restoration, and some are even modified to improve their appearance. Moroccan workers excel at carefully excavating and preserving these natural treasures, though surface cracks are often visible. These cracks are natural features and are not viewed as flaws.
