I have this jaw that I believe to be a halisaurus but not sure , can anyone confirm this? It's from the cretateous period about 350 million years old and from Khourigba morocco.

Hi all I just wanted to share a project that Ebrocklds and I finished up and shipped over to Europe a few weeks ago. It is a fantastic 14 foot Halisaurus sp? from Morocco. It is quite different anatomically form Halisaurus arambourgi in that is has several strange skull proportions and features, as well as a few skeletal anomalies. Its skull was 100% complete, which allowed us to do many comparisons. As you can see from the pictures, the parietal eye is raised nearly 1/2 inch above the rest of the skull. The Maxillary on each side at the nasal opening has a raised, cylindrical, ridge. The post-orbital/frontal are very thin and flattened and sit at a very strange angle that was not altered by compression. All-in-all, it is a very unique and interesting animal. (Yes those are my adorable daughters) Enjoy.
