Plesiosaur tooth. The Plesiosaur was a very large prehistoric marine reptile that swam in the oceans millions of years ago. It is estimated to have measured between 5 feet and 50 feet long (depending on the subtype). Plesiosaurs lived during the Cretaceous period. This tooth originates from Morocco.
The tooth itself measures approximately 1.25 to 2 inches long (3.2 to 5 cm) and may slightly differ from what is shown in the photos. A tooth will be randomly selected from the lot illustrated.
(From ThoughtCo):
Plesiosaurs in general, and Plesiosaurs in particular, were not the most accomplished swimmers, as they lacked the hydrodynamic build of their larger, meaner, and more streamlined cousins, the Pliosaurs. To this day, it is unclear whether Plesiosaurs and their kin came onto land to lay eggs or gave birth to live young while swimming (though the latter possibility is increasingly favored). However, we do know that Plesiosaurs went extinct along with the dinosaurs 65 million years ago and left no living descendants.

Why are users outbidding themselves?
When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.
When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.
