Hi everybody! Last month i saw this tooth on sale and it was love at first sight But from the beginning i understood that what it was and how it be presented are not on the same page... Luckily i know the seller pretty well and we trust each other...so i asked info before make the purchase...He told me that his provider (directly from Morocco) told him that the tooth was a Dyrosaurus phosphaticus but that he was not confident about the ID...the moroccan provider told to my friend/seller that was the first time that he saw a totth like that and its first idea of ID was D.phosphaticus. So provider was not sure, the seller just report the same ID given by the provider...and after hearing this story, i was even more convinced that i was on the good path...this is NOT a D.phosphaticus tooth...but for me, it was not a crocodilian tooth at all. Then i started to wondering what could it be...and i have reached two possibilities: 1) Spinosauridae: like Baryonyx/Suchosaurus 2) Pliosauridae: like Liopleuridon or Simolestes The specific features of the tooth (well conserved on labial side, damaged on lingual side, full carinae, intact root) are: - 2 marked, smooth carinae - 9 labial ridges - less evident lingual ridges - smooth enamel Other info: Origin: Khourigba - Morocco Age: Maastrichtian - Upper Cretaceous (doubtful) Lenght: 5.5cm / 2.16 inches What do you think about it? Someone can recognize it? Let me know and thanks to everybody!

For those of you that have visited the Black Hills Institute in Hill City SD you know that space is at a premium. When I heard that they were planning to add a replica of the large Jurassic Pliosaur Liopleurodon ferox , I said where? Well here it is flying high above. The new view as you enter Getting to this point was not easy. The replica was not complete and the skull was distorted. Started with a two meter skull mounting of the scapulae and the created coracoids positioned the pubes and ischia attached to the sacral ribs with a rod going through the “yet to be created” ilia attach the created gastralia basket, creating the disassemble circle that will support the massive paddles Mounting of the ribs Lots of modification to the ribs and lateral spines Its South Dakota cow country Bone corrections being made

Sea animals larger than land animals.Why its not the case with Dinosaurs?
Sergey Woropaew posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Sea animals today larger than land animals.(whale vs elephant) Why?- Because the effects of gravity are lower in water. their skeletons don't have to support as much weight as they would out of water. Thats why biggest animal is whale. So - why it's not work with dinosaurs? Biggest dinosaurs - is land creatures - Argentinosaurus-30-40 meters long (and other titanosaurs),while in the sea we find smaller animals (biggest is Liopleurodon i guess -6 meters as known today)?. So why is that? is laws of physics was completely upside down in dinosaur times? -
Hi, This is a Liopleurodon (Ferox?) tooth (Lower Oxford Clay,Callovian,Jurassic.Hampton Lakes,P'Boro, Cambs.160 myo.) This was acquired from a professional and then run by another expert for a second opinion. The reason why we have strongly versed with Liopleurodon for this particular specimen is because of it's distinct robust nature and very thick vertical ribbing that tends to "stick out" from the tooth itself (this specimen does have natural feeding wear and a slight repair). - I am terribly sorry for the quality of these photographs, I left most of my lenses at home and had to make do at the time! - For anyone interested in Lower Oxford Clay fossils I highly recommend this book, it also helps with identification when an expert cannot be instantly found -> http://www.palass.org/beta/eps/shop/product/fossils-of-the-oxford-clay/ I hope that people find this interesting anyway! I have had a few private messages asking to see images from my current and past collections of UK fossils, so I hope for now that this will suffice. - Beth (Iguanodonfossil)
