Hi, so i just got this mosasaurus jaw from morocco, could someone help me to figure out if it is real? If so, is it possible to say from which exact species it is? Its said to be from morocco... Thank you in advance!

Hello, some years ago i bought this "mosasaurus tooth" at a fossil convention. Sadly I cant remember the details the buyer gave me exept that its supposed to be from a mosasaurus. Now that I have a few more fossils I am pretty sure that its fake... Could somebody please help me? Thank you!

This Mosasaurus tooth measures 8.3 inches from Morocco. Can you tell me what species it is?

I am aiming to collect various genus of mosasaur to add to my collection and have been gathering several small specimens from various places that look to be from different genus and have tried to ID them with my limited knowledge (I am sure I probably got a lot of these wrongs, so anyone who could confirm the ID of these teeth would be greatly appreciated!) anyhow here are my collection so far, they are all from Morocco, presumably all from Khouribga : Picture 1: Looks to be Proganathodon (or mostly anyway...) Picture 2: Looks to be Proganathodon also (I think...) Picture 3: Platecarpus (the striations seem to confirm this, but I can't be 100% sure) Picture 4: Beaugei (I am assuming from the conical curvy contour that I have seen online that have been ID'd as such) Picture 5: Possibly a Beaugei? (have seen some teeth ID's as Beaugei that seems to show the bladed with ridged shaped also, so I am taking a shot in the dark here also...) Picture 6: Anceps (again, based from online search of pictures and tried to compare with what I have..) Picture 7: Pathological Mosasaur Tooth? - never seen one before, so I am sure if such things exist, but this one looks a little strange in terms of its shape, can't be sure if its a bad fix or bad attempt at compositing but the specimen is so small and of little value so I could see no reason to even try to composite it. These ones are my larger teeth 2 of them with roots, presumably all are Prognathodon: Specimen u: Specimen V: Specimen W: Specimen X Anyway, hope u enjoy watching and hopefully any one with more expertise than me would be able to help confirm the IDs of these teeth. I would be very happy even if I get just half of them right - Mosasaur teeth especially the small ones are just so hard to ID and notice their key defining features, with so little visual encyclopedic materials going on around online.
