Plesiosaur Zarafasaura

Explore the prehistoric seas with Zarafasaura Oceanis, a striking member of the Elasmosauridae family. Named from Zarafa (“giraffe”) and Saurus (“lizard”), with the species name meaning “daughter of the sea,” this marine reptile was first described in 2011 by Dr. Peggy Vincent from fossils found in Morocco.

Reaching up to 23 feet (7 meters) in length, Zarafasaura lived during the Late Cretaceous (72–66 million years ago) and was a skilled carnivorous predator. Its long neck and streamlined body allowed it to hunt fish and other marine creatures with precision.

Part of the Plesiosauria family, which existed from 228–61.6 million years ago, Zarafasaura shares lineage with Plesiosaurus. Fossil evidence from 938 specimens shows their diversity, while artistic depictions—often influenced by Loch Ness Monster myths—blend different plesiosaur traits.

Ideal for collectors, educators, and marine reptile enthusiasts, Zarafasaura Oceanis combines prehistoric elegance, predatory power, and fascinating history.

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.
