Identification:
Mosasaur teeth can be difficult to assign to a species. However, given the size of the tooth, it must be from T. proriger - the only Mosasaur in the formation large enough to produce this tooth.
Notes:
Shows feeding wear (pictured) with mostly complete enamel. Uncommon find for this formation.
Identifiers:
This identification is supported by Michael J. Polcyn (researcher specializing in the evolution of Mosasaurs) of Southern Methodist University, Dallas, TX, USA.
