Mosasaur: fact or fiction?


Recommended Posts

Hi I realise a lot of these jaws are faked now from looking online, I wonder if you had any thoughts on this jaw, I’m leaning towards your usual Moroccan forgery but would love to get your input,

 

 

thanks!!

I would stay away if you’re looking for the real deal. The teeth look like they are composited onto a jaw that doesn’t belong to them...and then the jaws are stacked upon each other.

mosasaurs bones with mosasaurs teeth but composited.

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 ...

I am also of the opinion that this specimen has had some composition done. The placement of teeth that point straight up and teeth that recurve posteriorly so close on the jaw is incorrect.
