This skull was found in a local southwestern USA rock shop; the owner of the shop knew nothing, and the skull was on consignment. I attempted to contact the original seller to find more details (such as where they got it), but no one returned my calls. Length of skull: 53 cm Width of skull at maximum: 17 cm (back of skull) Width of skull at minimum: 4 cm (across narrow part of snout) Height of skull at maximum: 14 cm The two large fenestrae above the orbital fenestrae measure between 9.5 to 10 cm Teeth measure between 1 and 2 cm each. I suspect it's an Eosuch

Hi, I bought this tooth labeled as: "Tooth of Elasmosaurus K2 Cretacerous. Albian stage, Stariy Oscol, Russia." (I wrote it as written in the label they gave me) Now, the genus Elasmosaurus should be from The Campanian period. My questions are: Is this an Elasmosaurus tooth? Could they mean Elasmosauridae without specifying the genus? If it is not Elasmosaurus platyurus, can you tell me, if possible, what species or genus it is? Thank you.

Møns Klint fossil reptiles - size comparison chart
The Amateur Paleontologist posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Hey everyone - hope you're all doing Just thought I'd share with you guys a chart I made, comparing the sizes of various marine reptile species known from the Maastrichtian chalk of Møns Klint (~70 million years old - Hvidskud Member of the Møns Klint Formation). For now, there are only 3 reptile species known from MK. But who knows, that number might increase now that more in-depth collection and research is taking place over there Anyways... onto the size comparison chart - here it is: Details: The Mosasaurus hoffmannii is known from one very we- 2 replies

Today, instead of bemoaning the paucity of marine cretaceous rocks in my state, I reframed the situation as follows: "In the Cretaceous, most of Missouri was not ocean but land, with lots of exposed limestone that dinosaurs were likely walking around on." This led me to the following question: Do we have no fossil examples of dinosaurs that fell in sinkholes / caves / paleokarst and were preserved there, perhaps discovered during quarrying of the limestone? We definitely have such examples for fossil mammals, reptiles, etc., including Pleistocene (Ocala), Pliocene (Pipe Creek Jr.), a

Could someone help me with the identification and position of this vertebra. I was thinking it was procoelous and maybe crocodylomorph? Scale bar = 1mm.
