Hey all. I recently purchased these associated pieces of mosasaur jaw from Kansas and was wondering if someone might be able to ID them. I have a few ideas as to what it might be but I’d like some second opinions. The only information I from the seller was that the specimen was from Phillips county and it was found in the Pierre Shale formation. There was also a small chunk of mosasaur jaw that I got for free as well (last two pictures), but I doubt that can be identified since it is in pretty rough shape. Let me know if I need more pictures and thanks in advance for any and all help.

Mosasaur jaw, Morocco: Real or created?
hemipristis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
hello everyone, I came across this, and the price is fair. Thought it would make a nice office conversation piece. Of course the question is whether it's real or Memorex---sorry, dating myself there, lol---not. I don't see anything glaring, but this isn't my forte. So, thoughts: From Morocco or Made in Morocco? I appreciate any thoughts or recommendations

Hello everyone! I'm new here and just a paleontology fan. I love Mosasaurs and I always wanted part of a jaw. I recently saw a post on a website that I'd purchased items before, so it is trusted by me. I found this mosasaur jaw at a very reasonable price but I doubt if it is 100% original or a composite. Size of jaw is 24 x 7 x 2,5 cm. Could someone help me decide whether or not to buy this piece? Thanks in advance (attached all the available photos) MVI_8930.mp4

NSR is known for its mosasaur material. If you know what to look for, you're almost guaranteed to find a bone. Most of the stuff you will find however will be just chunks, some of them will be identifiable like jaws or vertebrae.-

Mosasaur Jaw Oued Zem, Morocco TIME PERIOD: Late Cretaceous (73-95 Million Years Ago) First and most importantly, mosasaurs are not dinosaurs. Mosasaurs (from Latin Mosa meaning the 'Meuse river', and Greek sauros meaning 'lizard') are an extinct group of large marine reptiles. Their first fossil remains were discovered in a limestone quarry at Maastricht on the Meuse in 1764. Mosasaurs probably evolved from an extinct group of aquatic lizards known as aigialosaurs in the Early Cretaceous. During the last 20 million years of the Cretaceous period (Turonian-Maastrichtian ages), with the extinction of the ichthyosaurs and pliosaurs, mosasaurs became the dominant marine predators. They became extinct as a result of the K-Pg event at the end of the Cretaceous period, about 66 million years ago. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Squamata Family: †Mosasauridae -
