Possible Globidens phosphaticus tooth?
Othniel C. Marsh posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I recently saw a globular mosasaur tooth up for sale labelled as Globidens phosphaticus. I am conscious, however, that a number of teeth labelled as Globidens are in fact from Igdamanosaurus, Igdamanosaurus aegypticus in particular, so is this tooth actually a Globidens? Thanks in advance for any guidance Othniel -
Is it possible to id between Moroccan Globidens phospaticus and Igdamanosaurus aegyptiacus teeth? Or does the separate teeth go as Globidensini indet?

From the album: Ozan Formation
Globidens alabamaensis, NSR Campanian, Cretaceous Mar, 2023 A shell-crushing mosasaur not uncommon for the NSR. They first showed up in the Early Cretaceous, shortly after the disappearance of ptychodus from the seas. -
I think North Texans will relate when I say that now and then, the urge to take a drive out to the NSR and spend the day hunting some Campanian gravel bars can spontaneously take complete hold. I had one of those moments just after the series of heavy rains and powerful winds our region encountered some days ago. Previously, my luck with weather at the NSR had been rather poor. Each time, the temps were either nearing a hundred degrees or only just above freezing, making a full on adventure crossing muddy waters and crawling atop unshaded gravel beds too much to handle. I had yet to experience

Some more Moroccan unknowns
Earendil posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi again! If you saw my thread from yesterday, you'll know I bought some Moroccan fossils for dirt cheap that turned out to be pretty nice. I went to the same dealer today and bought three more for the same price. I suppose I will start with the worst (most suspicious) first: I saw this vertebra and liked how it looked, so I bought it. I'm totally fine with spending $20 for a vert recreation, too, so no big deal if it's fake. What makes me suspicious is the place where it's chipped, it looked like there was paint flaking off. I guess I'm asking, how much of it is real and what is i -
I found this a while back amidst the red-zone in the Ozan. I'm not sure whether to label it as Globidens sp. or Brachychampsa sp. I'm leaning towards Globidens sp. but would like to know what y'all thought. @JohnJ Apologies in advance about the scale switching back and forth got distracted whilst photographing. Top view (scale in mm): What looks like feeding wear on the (lingual?) side (scale in inches): Feeding wear (within red indicator line) labial? side: Basal: Thanks in advance, - James

Hello, can someone take a look at these and let me know if they are ok? A pair of Mosasaur jaws I quite like. 1st is a Globidens -- from Phosphate Beds. 5.12 inches. Seller says that the tooth is glued, but was found with the jaw. 2nd is Prognathodon -- says it has been glued and has some small fractures filled. Also from Phosphate beds. Many thanks anyone who can help!

While collecting at a location in SE Virginia which produces a mixture of material from the Eocene Nanjemoy Formation and late Miocene/early Pliocene Yorktown Formation, I was shocked to find what I believe to be a cretaceous Globidens sp. anterior tooth fragment. My only explanation for this would be that it must have been redeposited into the Eocene beds and finally exposed with rest of the material. The texture is classic Globidens. The only other species with a slightly similar texture found within these formations (though still markedly different), would be Squalodon sp., however if th

I've always been fascinated by the Cretaceous sea and its myriad of terrifying carnivores, many that would've made Jaws look meek. After watching BBC's Sea Monsters, I made it my goal to compile a box of sea monster fossils. I started this journey 10 years ago, and finally completed the box recently. Allow me to present my Predators of the Cretaceous Sea collection, and take you on a journey to the most dangerous sea of all times. The box measures 20.25 inches long. Inside are 24 unique predator fossils. I will introduce them from left to right, top to bott

I managed to get in a few hours before the rain hit at the North Sulphur River Texas. My buddy found a rare Globidens tooth. I found a high quality shark tooth and some coprolite.

A find from earlier this year. Creek bed on the surface here in West KY, (Graves County). Got it because it was different. (I started truly hunting fossils for my son who loves dinosaurs more than anything.) I had no idea as to what it might be but the shape kept me thinking I'd seen it before. I happened to be looking at Mosasaurs one day & happened to see a Moroccan peg-toothed specimen. Researched if they might have lived in the sea here. Saw a paper about Globidens which had some illustrations, then found out about Alabamaensis. Thought I had a jaw fragment minus teeth of one of those.

From the album: Vertebrates (other than fish)
3.5x2.3m. Tooth Maastrichtian Late Cretaceous From Oued-Zem, Morocco Otherwise known all over the internet as Globidens aegyptiacus, but this was revised by Lingham-Soliar back in 1991. -
Hi all! I found this in the North Sulphur River this weekend in a large gravel bar. My first thought was that it was a Globidens Mosasaur tooth, but I’m just not sure. It’s approximately a half an inch diameter, has striations on the underside, and a hole in the center. The top side has been flattened, which if a tooth I am assuming is the chewing surface? Completely fossilized. No enamel. I would appreciate any input! Thank you so much!

Globidens Tooth composite?
ReptileTooth posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi, What are your opinions on this tooth? Overall the crown of it: Thanks -
Hi everyone, With this thread I wanted to start a discussion about what the feeding habits would be for most mosasaur species, how you think they would have fed. I personally love mosasaurs, they are one of my favorite prehistoric animals for a number of reasons and I’ve recently even bought my first Prognathodon jaw and I also live in an area that is not only known for their fossils but also for the discovery of mosasaurs. I’ve been doing a bit of reading lately about mosasaurs but I can’t really find anything difinitive on their feeding habits. Their diet yes. B

Globidens tooth with strange repair...
Deinocheirusmaster! posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I bought this tooth from a fossil dealer in Utah 2 years ago. I then somehow after that time noticed a strange mark on the bottom of the tooth where it attaches to the root and that there’s a sand like line going across the middle of the tooth. Could this be repair or fabricated teeth I’m seeing? -
GLOBIDENS AEGYPTICUS MOSASAUR TOOTH ON JAW BONE WITH STAND - MOROCCO and a Yeti cup.

Found in north Fort Hood near Gatesville, TX next to the Leon River. Unsure of formation. *would love to know if anyone has that info* Resembles a fish tooth to me, but this one is MUCH larger than any I've ever found (in eastern NC where I live), plus this one seems to have a root attached. It's approximately 3.5cm standing tall, and the "root" is approximately 3cm at its widest point. Quarter is for size reference. I googled some globidens images (as someone suggested) but I have not seen any that precisely match my specimen. For instance, mine does not have any indication of a

Real or composite globidens tooth with root?
Wowbnjijdat posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi guys, What is your opinion about this tooth? I think it is a real one, no fractures and no covering matrix. But maybe the experts see some red flags. -
I bought this partial, very partial, jaw of a mosasaur a few years ago at a very good price. It's from Morocco. No offense to anyone, but I'm always suspect of Moroccan fossils, but it was cheap. This was covered in their famous sand/glue matrix. So tonight i decided to clean it up and do away with most of the sand, and what i found was surprising! See anything wrong with this picture? I uncovered two pits with replacement teeth that were filled with sand. Awesome! BUT they're pointed!! Lol!!! Oh, silly Moroccans. So i
