Five isolated squamata vertebrae found in Central Texas Eagle Ford between 2016 and 2020 were donated to SMU and Dr. Polcyn for study. Dr. Polcyn's email response after receiving the fossils: "There is a nice assortment.... Dallasaurus, Coniasaurus, and the large vert I believe is squamate, but will need more work. I will have to set them aside for now while I finish some other projects but will come back to them at some point in the near future. Thanks for the contribution!"

Hi y'all, I have been acid prepping some Kamp Ranch matrix for weeks and today I saw this peeking out. I'm thinking it's a Dallasaurus turneri (basal mosasaur) tooth. It's posteriorly recurved, has no mesial carina, and has a circular basal cross section. The crown height is 3 mm. I believe there's a hairline crack, so I may try a little glue before attempting to finish getting it out (if I decide to). More knowledgable eyes would be appreciated! @JohnJ @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon ^ from Bell & Polcyn (2005) they appear to be about 3-5 mm in height.
