I've been cleaning up this block of Moroccan material, and have exposed most of the central bone. I have no idea what it is, despite the fact that it looks very distinctive. Does anybody have any ideas please? Judging by the size, I would guess it could be mosasaur, but I don't know if the teeth have been placed or were there originally. Numerous fish bones are also present, as usual. Thanks in advance.

Hi y'all, 2-25-17 went to 2 different bridges this day. The first bridge was very muddy and proved difficult to find anything so I cut to another favorite bridge where I thought I would have better luck. To my surprise I found gravel bars relitivly free of mud and foot prints. I hiked out pretty far things were much more productive. I met a fellow board member @zoocosmolina on my way back. Great meeting you. I'm sure we'll be meeting up again at some point.

NSR is dry and footprints everywhere but I still had a great day. The Mosasaur Angular with shark feeding marks & possible shark tooth embedded is my favorite.

Hi all, Usually you see these fossils in the "Is it real?" thread, but I decided to make a change. This mosasaur block contains several teeth, and I think they are real, and it is possible that the block was found as such (if you think any of it is fake/reconstructed, let me know). As usual, it's from our favorite mosasaur location Khouribga (Morocco), meaning it's from the late Cretaceous (like all mosasaurs). Now I would like to put a species (or several species) on these teeth. Here's a list I found of the different mosasaurs found in Khouribga (it may be wrong): Globidens phosphaticus (definitely not this one) Halisaurus arambourgi Halisaurus walkeri Mosasaurus hoffmani Platecarpus ptychodon Prognathodon curii Liodon anceps (?) All of them (except for Globidens) seem like possible solutions for my block. So, what species do you think it is? Maybe there are different species for the different teeth? Thanks! Max

Hi, Here another mosasaur tooth, this time single but with root. Again, Khouribga; late Cretaceous. See my previous post for more info: So what do you think? What species could it be? Best regards, Max

Spent the morning at Post Oak Creek yesterday. It was pretty well picked over and we need some rain. Found tons of broken teeth and was about to head out when I bumped into a family that was there for the first time and never hunted before. I asked if they would like some help which they gladly accepted. Made a few fun finds including a couple of sawfish rostral teeth and a beautiful peice of fossilized soft shell turtle shell. They also found a nice complete Cretodus. We spent a couple of hours together and they definitely got the fever. I am attaching a couple of my finds since I gave away most.

I was hoping some of our Mosasaur experts (@LordTrilobite @jnoun11) could lend me their opinion on the following Mosasaur from Morocco I want to purchase. I was told it is Prognathodon, agree?
-
My 12 year found these and I am not sure if they are Mosasaur verts, etc. I am thinking it MIGHT be a Mosasaur humerus. It is definitely fossilized, although it looks like unfossilized bone. The smaller one... I will defer to the Forum's expertise. Thanks!

Does this look real?

A muddy but fun NSR trip. I found a nice variety of fossils & artifacts. Some pretty good size baculites this time. @GeschWhat will probably appreciate the coprolite. It's full of bones under magnification.
-
What is the "anceps" in Prognathodon anceps? Is that the species name? I'm having a hard time finding anything online to explain other than some dealers selling some teeth on various sites. Sorry for my ignorance and thanks!

well a mosasaur tooth has eluded me since I started collecting the streams a few months ago......is this one?

Headed out to Sulphur River with my girlfriend on Sunday. Checked out a new bridge that looked like it had many gravel bars on the satellite images. Upon getting to the bottom of the bridge my girlfriend promptly got stuck in the mud and ate sh*t. She's a trooper and we didn't let it get us down. After walking for awhile through deep sucking mud we made it to the promised gravel bars. Much of it was covered in mud, silt, and clay but there was still enough gravel for some good hunting. As we would walk through the mud our feet would pull up layers of mud that would have gravel underneath. What exactly has to happen for that mud to wash away and reveal the gravel underneath? I've read a lot on here about the spring rains? Maybe a sustained rise of the river? Here are our finds from the trip. I'll post some close ups of question finds. I'm planning on returning this Saturday for full day hunt. Would anybody like to meet up? @JarrodB @John S. @David E. ?

Finally made it out to the Sulphur. It's been 9 months so I was eager to get a big hunt in. Pulled an all dayer, 10 miles in the mud. Was quite a workout and I'm still sore. We haven't had a big rise in a while so I wasn't expecting much but I ended up with a decent haul. Favorites are the jaw sections and coprolite. Looking forward to spring storms hitting soon
