Mosasaur: Hainosaurus Skull - Curious on further input
gigaman posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hi All! I once again come to you for expert opinion and input on a Mosasaur skull/ The anatomy is a bit more accurate, but I cannot say for sure if it is a genuine fossil. Any insights would be much appreciated as far as if this is a composite specimen or looks to be from the same extraction (which I doubt) I am mainly curious if the majority looks authentic or somehow synthesized. Also the seller identified this as a Hainosaurus: the slender skull seems accurate but the teeth running to the end of the snout does not align with popular scientific finding/opinion -
British Columbia Paleontology Education Booth at the BC Rock and Gem Show
BrennanThePaleoDude posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
A few weeks ago I, along with the Vancouver Paleontological Society hosted a large table display at the annual BC Rock and Gem Show in Chilliwack! Every year I am invited to educate the public at this three day event. British Columbia's lower mainland lacks museums that have local fossils on display which is very unfortunate due to the high diversity of important and spectacular fossil sites in the area! I make sure to cover as much as I can at these shows and events, especially on the Burgess Shale (since it is so incredible and most people don't even know the site is in our Provence).

The Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences (Brussels): A tour by Ziggycardon
ziggycardon posted a topic in A Trip to the Museum
Hi everyone Last Thursday I went to visit the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences in Brussels as a little pre-birthday trip. I have visited this museum several times in the past few years, but this time I took my camera with me and thought it might be fun to do a photo tour of the museum for this forum Beware, this will be quite a big topic that might take a few days to complete as I took nearly 750 photo's in the museum (a lot will have to be sorted out though due to blurry quality, photo's of only name tags and doubles) as I wanted to show pretty much all fossil displays- 63 replies

HAINOSAURUS tooth real?
Praefectus posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I was browsing online and found this tooth for sale. The seller says it belongs to hainosaurus and that it is from Ouled Abdoun, Morocco. I was wondering if this tooth was real and if it had any restoration to it. Also, can anyone verify the species? Thank you. -
A docu & magazine tip for the belgians & dutchie on tff!
ziggycardon posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hi everyone, I was just scrolling facebook a few moments ago and came across a few posts by the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences and saw that there is a new documentary series about the museum itself on Canvas, the series is called "Er was eens" and the first episode that will air today at 19u will be all about the fossil collection including the Iguanodons of Bernissart & Plateosaurus Ben. So maybe a tip for everyone that has the network "Canvas" in Belgium & the Netherlands. https://vimeo.com/297901181?fbclid=IwAR2F5eIbYwzRKCAtfwcYIG8EZsXwZZF2nUhtUPw3dIYAQem_YrSLLP-t- 1 reply

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
