Hi all, here are more pliosaur teeth questions from me.. these are from the Asfla Goulmima Morroco Cretaceouds turonien. I'm fairly certain the stubby one is pliosaur but seeing as I've been mistaken more than once, I'd like to ask here. I think the slender is plesiosaur, but again.. I'd like for people with more knowledge than me to pitch in

Hello, I have a simple question but I can't find the answer and I think many of you probably know the answer. Is the taxon Ichthyosauria a part of the taxon Plesiosauria? I want to start learning more about Ichthyosauria and this fact simply bothers me not to know.

Here is a 7 cm long tooth, claimed to be pliosaur. What do people here think? It's from Morocco, unsure where specifically. @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon

Hi everyone! Found these two specimens in the Upper Albian Burim formation in Ukraine. Would appreciate any help with ID! 1. So this 1.2 cm tooth is as basic as they get - no carinae, no enamel ornamentation (enamel is there by the way), circular cross section and this really weird apical twist. When I found it in the sieve I thought it was a Polycotylid plesiosaur, but lack of striations is not typical of plesiosaurs. Can't find a large fish without carinae either (Icthyodectids, Enchodontids, Protosphyraena, Pachyrhizodus and other pachycormids all have carinae), although enamel

Pliosaur & Mosasaur Tooth Collection from Central Texas
LSCHNELLE posted a topic in Member Collections
Attached are pictures of my collection of four isolated teeth from Travis County, Texas with limited identifications. I am not an expert on pliosaurs, plesiosaurs, or mosasaurs. I just know fairly accurately in which member of a specific formation I found these teeth. All of these were located in or near a shell hash layer associated with oyster fragments, Ptychodus, or other regular shark's teeth. (1) 10/2/2017 - Upper South Bosque - ~91 mya - first picture (as cleaned). (2) 6/15/2018 - Lower Bouldin Flags - ~95 Mya - first picture (as found), second p- 32 replies

I visit a shop in Athens, i seen this tooth in a box with common mosasaur teeth, and i bought it because don't look like a common mosasaur tooth. Platecarpus? Plesiosaur? Fish? The size is approx. 2 cm/0,8 inch.

British marine reptile teeth, pliosaur? Ichthyosaur? Croc?
Per Christian posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone I came across this box of marine reptile teeth from: Age 200 million/Rhaetic bone bed. I don't have the measurements of the fossils unfortunately, but do anyone see plesiosaur and ichthyosaur teeth here? I'd love it if there's pliosaur but probably not.. -
Marine Reptile Bone Collection from Lyme Regis and Charmouth (England)
Paleoworld-101 posted a topic in Member Collections
I've spent a fair amount of time now combing the beaches around Lyme Regis and Charmouth in Dorset, England, and thought i would put together a topic that presents all of my marine reptile bone finds (so far) in one place. The fossils here are Early Jurassic in age, approx. 195-190 million years old and come predominantly from the Blue Lias and Charmouth Mudstone formations. I first visited this area in 2013 with the simple goal of finding at least one ichthyosaur vertebra, and now after three subsequent trips in 2014, 2017 and 2019, i've put together a far better assortment of finds than i co- 24 replies

Hi everyone I came across these teeth on our favorite site. It's listed as plesiosaur and ichthyosaur, but could the plesiosaur be a pliosaur tooth? The ridges are quite pronounced.. The teeth in this set were both found in the Seversk Sandstone in Belgorod, Kursk, Russia

Hi, I am interested in this tooth---sold as Plesiosaur tooth from the Kem Kem Beds. First time I've seen one from Kem Kem sold before, but I see someone bought one recently in the "mailbox score" thread, but it looks different--lighter colored preservation. Anyone know if this is actually from Kem Kem going by the matrix and preservation and not from Ouled Abdoun with just the wrong formation listed? It is 5CM long. Also the tip---just repaired, or compositied? I'm a bit concerned that the top of the tip seems a little bit wider than the middle. But it coul
