Vaches Noires: plesiosaur tooth or fish tooth after all?
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all, Last summer, while out hunting at the Vaches Noires on the Normandy coast of France, we found the below tooth in the Marnes de Dives (upper Callovian) . I extracted it from its matrix in order to be able to tell with confidence whether carinae are present or not and thus whether the tooth could be metriorhynchid - which I thought, at the time, to be the only other major contender. Carinae are not present. As such, I then arrived at the conclusion that the tooth is plesiosaurian, and in absence of striations - anastomosing or other - that it probably belonge- 43 replies

Greetings good people of the fossil forum... I stand before you all this afternoon to let you know of an event happening at the Tate Geological Museum in Casper, Wyoming on June 4-6. Yes, it is the 26th annual Tate Conference! The theme this year is Marine Reptiles. We have speakers from all over the map (including a few virtual folks speaking form Europe), talking about mosasaurs, ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs, sea turtles and even Tanystropheus (one of my personal favorites). Talks will be here on the Casper College campus and will be all day on Friday the 4th.

This started bothering me from lack of fossils for sale(and tooth prices when they are), and although this is far from anything scientific or reliable, I feel like I hear about plesiosaur fossil finds significantly more than pliosaurs finds(im not really sure how to begin searching for that kind of compiled info). Is there a reason pliosaurs seem to be so rare? As far as fossils for sale, the only thing I can think of, other than pliosaurs being just plain rare(super rare when compared to the number of plesiosaurs), is that for some reason everyone just mistakes/assumes pliosaur fossils a

Hi All, I'm not sure if this is the best place to do this but I am putting out a call to collectors of the Atlantic Coastal Plain for plesiosaur specimens. A project is starting to address the taxonomy and stratigraphy of this poorly known but iconic and widespread group in the eastern US. We are starting by trying to document everything that exists in various collections, including private. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Please spread this around to anyone you might think could add to our tally. Please PM me with any information. Happy Holidays! @non-remanié @
