  1. Hello all, here is a bit of personal news to share. Back in March of 2021 (on my 25th birthday) I discovered a remarkably complete skeleton of an elasmosaurid plesiosaur in the Smoky Hill Chalk member of western Kansas. These animals are especially rare in this formation and my discovery includes the second known skull found in the state. I have now partnered with a local museum to create a fossil prep lab and exhibit space as I uncover the specimen. The exhibit will be around all summer if you find yourself in the area, and the museum is free of charge. Feel free to reach out ahead of time and I would be happy to give you an in-person tour. Hopefully you can read the text of this article in the local Scott County newspaper. This has been an amazing ride so far and I look forward to sharing more as the project moves ahead!
  2. Hi, I have this tooth from the Akrabou Formation in Morocco, and I was told it is a Plesiosaur tooth most likely belonging to the genus Libonectes (An Elasmosaur). I just wanted to get an opinion if the id is correct or whether it could belong to something else like a Polycotylid. The tooth is just over 3cm in length. Thank you!

    Elasmosaurus vertebrae?

    Was purchased as an Elasmosaurus vertabrae from Morocco 5.91" x 6.19" I found one similar online but the one I acquired seems to be a little more on the flat side. One of the processes has been repaired and seems to be stabilized. If it is indeed from an Elasmosaur, could it just be from a different section of the spine and is why it has a flatter profile? If so, what section could it be from? I'm just trying to get all the information on it that I can. The last three pics will be of the one I found online. Thank you in advance!
  4. Hi all My son and I were looking through some teeth from the NSR and want to get your opinions on this one. We first thought that this was a mosasaur tooth; however, someone suggested that it may be a plesiosaur/elasmosaurid tooth. We wanted to gather some more opinions since we have no idea what it is. The tooth measures 16 x 6 x 6 mm. Thanks and Happy New Year!
  5. Hi all, I was recently offered this tooth from late Cretaceous of Orensburg, Russia. Most likely Gaisky City District. I can't figure out if it's a Polycotylid plesiosaur or Pterosaur tooth. The overall shape is closer to pterosaur than plesiosaur. However, I am not aware of pterosaur having wrinkling like that, nor do I know of pterosaur teeth being found there. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you.

    Help with some teeth

    Hello, Before I made this post I did some research by myself. By scrolling through the forum here I already learned that the teeth I have in my collection are composites. I also have doubts with the Spinosaurid tooth. It is not serrated but it has a sharp edge in both sides. I thought they had to conical with striations? The Mosasaurs hoffmanni and the Elasmosaur sp. are valid I think (even if they are composites). I even believe the Elasmosaur is a broken tooth put back together and not built out of different Elasmosaur teeth. I am curious for your opinion. First three photos are from Elasmosaur sp. number four and five are Mosasaur hoffmanni six to eight is Spinosaurus aegypticus according to label, but I prefer to label it as Spinosaurus indet. cause I'm not sure. I thought I read somewhere on the forum that Spinosaurus aegypticus would only be valid in Egypt. All three teeth come from Morrocco. The Spino and Mosa were super cheaps (I think that should be a hint). I paid 10€ per tooth. The Elasmosaur was 27€.
  7. I can’t figure out if these are 2 associated jaw pieces. In most pictures they sure look it, but some pictures make me second guess it, and if they aren’t, they’re definitely still the attaching pieces, even if from different animals. I was looking at it backwards for awhile, which set me back, but I figured out the thicker part is actually the front of the jaw, right before the curve, or right after it starts, if it’s been glued on at the incorrect angle, which I think could also be possible. the 1st picture looks very strange because of how that smaller section suddenly drops down and gets taller, and especially strange after researching and finding out that it’s supposed to get wider there, but actually SHORTER. the 2nd picture looks good, except it MIGHT supposed to start slightly curving inward at the point of reattachment pics 1,3,4,6,&7 all make it look like they rent supposed to be associated together, but the other pics make it look very accurate. I don’t know what to think, so I thought I’d see what people with much better knowledge than I, think about it.
