A Gift from a Friend - Mosasaur?


JamieLynn

Recommended Posts

Welll....I got a lovely gift box in the mail from a friend who knew I liked fossils. I WAS SO NOT EXPECTING THIS IN THE MAIL! Imagine my excitement on finding a Green River fish, a nice big Megaladon and....pretty sure this is a Mosasaur tooth from Morocco? That's my best guess anyways. It kind of looks "staged" with the vert, but I don't care, it's really cool. So am I right in my attempt at ID as mosasaur? Since I haven't FOUND ONE YET I don't have any to compare! (And yes, I have been 'visuallizing" a mosasaur tooth and vert something fierce and the universe decided to play a trick on me and gave me one....but not one I FOUND. hahahhahahah).

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it. Terry Pratchett ...
