I was given these teeth by a friend many many years ago and they were identified as plesiosaur teeth. They are from Niger, Africa. I looked and found no record of plesiosaurs ever being found in Niger. I also did a bit of compairing with other plesiosaur teeth and found no match. One of them looks to me to be from a suchomimus or some other spinosaur (judging by the grooves on the tooth). The other two look to be from some sort of crocodyloform, possibly stolokrosuchus.

Hello everyone I am new to this forum but hear that you are excellent at helping with fossil id. These three fossils came from a recent trip to Brook bay on the Isle of Wight and I would really appreciate any input anyone can give me on them. The scale in the pictures is mm so both the tooth and rib are around 1cm long. The nearest match I can find for the tooth is a juvenile Baryonychid (based on Sweetman's paper). It is ridged down the edges rather than on the sides but it is not big enough to be Baryonix. There is one tiny rib(?) which I have no idea on and no idea whether there is anything on it that could support any identification? The last bone looks to me like it might be a limb bone from something about fox sized. Could that be right or am I miles off. I am really bad at ID so if anyone can set me straight on any errors above then it would be much appreciated.
