That's a really cool fossil. How big is it? Looks like a good, hefty piece.

Thanks. Here is a photo with scale.

A better photo with complete mandible. Peloneustes was the smallest of the Oxford Clay pliosaurs:

I think I saw this one for sale--or at least a very similar one. It was already sold when I messaged the guy on the website about it.

 

If it's the same one, glad to see it's found a good home. It's a nice fossil, from a more uncommon species than what usually appears for sale.

Great pictures! Thanks.  Beautiful specimen!

 

Definitely, it is Ptychodus mortoni.  It is similar to an associated set pictured in NMMNH Bulletin 81 - Figure 9 on page 10.  These are left laterals - in Figure 9 they are right laterals.  But, these are more rhombic in shape and less rounded on the crown edges than those in Figure 9.  I think that the coarser ridge pattern and coarser concentric pattern on the margins matches better the "crossover" new species from the Late Turonian than the "winged" form of the species.  So, same conclusion as earlier this week - a more "primitive" form of Ptychodus mortoni. 

Thanks so much for the help and information!

Nice form and prep, looks like a piece of art

I should have some similar pieces, I’ll post some later!

@paulgdls Wow, you've got some amazing marine reptile material. The ichthyosaur skull and Peloneustes remains are quite impressive.
