Where to get started in finding Central Texas teeth and bones
Jared C posted a topic in Questions & Answers
I'm a newbie who lives in the Austin area with a lot of passion for ancient life, but I'm having trouble making a decisive start with with my searches. I have a particular interest in large western interior seaway predators, most notably xiphactinus, but also the mosasaurs and sharks that lived in the area as well. Finding a vertebrae, of perhaps even teeth from these groups would be absolutely wonderful, but of the few creeks in the Austin area I've scouted, I've been able to turn up nothing besides gastropods. This is still despite heavily studying the sometimes confusing Texas geological maps So with this in mind, how and where do I start? Are there any places in the Austin area where I may have some luck in discovering possible vertebrae or teeth? I'd love any advice, I'm eager to make a start but I'm quite alone and need a little bit of guidance. Thanks! -
Hi TFF friends, I fear this thread might be in the wrong place. If it is the case, my apologize. I am currently compiling all sorts of data about Plioplatecarpinae and i would like to add photos of plioplatecarpinae's tooth. I browsed the world wide web for photos. I found some but i would like to add more. If you have in your collection, teeth from a genus belonging to this sub-family, could you please send me (by answering this thread so everybody enjoy your photos) if possible a photo of the labial/lingual/ distal/apex view of the tooth? Your help is invaluable. Thank you so much.

Dinosaurs and reptiles size estimation with teeth
PetrosTrilobite posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Is it easy to find the size of the animal with a tooth? For example, i have a spinosaurid tooth from morroco 2.75 inch long (approx. 2 cm is root), a large mosasaur tooth about 2 inch, a Carcharodontosaurus 1.94 inch. My estimation: my spino tooth belong to an animal about 7-10 meters long if it is a of the large teeth on this spino mouth, for the carcha i think that came from the middle or the back of the jaw of an animal 5-8 meters long, and the mosasaur from a 7-8 meters long mosasaur, and is a very thick tooth. -
I got this recently and it seemed so cheap for the size (I know nothing about authenticating fossils) so I wanted to check if it was real

Hey everybody, i work on several part of mosasaurs vertebral column (2 cervical and one dorsal) from morocco and i search an idea to display them, maybe on a stand but i can’t build one in metal because i can’t weld. So do you have any idea for me ?

Mosasaur tooth and Edaphosaur toe bone. Are they real?
Sickle_Claw posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Hello everyone. My first post in a while, and I just want to know the authenticity of these fossils that I bought online some time ago. I understand not the flashiest or most compelx, but I would just like to know. Please let me know if you would like better pictures. Mosasaur: Edaphosaurus -
Is it possible to narrow down what type of mosasaur a tooth came from? Found a tooth but it looks different from the typical ones I see all over google. Thanks!

A day trip to North Sulphur River in north Texas, didn't found much. However, this big chunk of bone was stare right at me. It's not a shape I recognize, so I didn't realize it was a fossil until I picked it up. Whatever this creature used to be, look like it got chewed up pretty good. Anyone have ideas what this might be? Help is much appreciated.

Mosasaur Tooth Upper Cretaceous Wenonah Formation Holmdel Monmouth Co., NJ. -
Hello, I'm a new member to this forum and a year 7 student, and I'm wondering how long mosasaurus is? The sources I've found on the internet and in books vary dramatically (10m and 24m!). I'm fairly sure that the actual length is in-between these lengths but I'm not certain! Also, related to this problem, I've found it difficult to locate an up to date book/site that shows accurate and updated portrayals of dino's. Any help? greatly appreciated, Aaron UPDATE: Thank you all for these articles! A lot of it went over my head but I now the actual size now, 6 metres! Thanks SOOOOOOO much!
