A.C. Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Hey all, Feeling a little like the boy who cried Mosasaur. I am fairly confident what I have here is a Mosasaur but wanted to get another opinion. The species I believe to be Proghathodon rapax (Hay). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
val horn Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 too close for me to call. Hopefully one of the big boys will evaluate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared C Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 well it certainly looks "mosasaur-ish". I'm fairly confident that you have a mosasaur, as it's appropriately stout with a telling curve. But since it's so small I could be wrong. 1 1 “Not only is the universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think” -Werner Heisenberg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erose Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Yep, mosasaur. As far as species...Others will have to weigh in... But I would be extremely happy to have that in my collection labeled as just "Mosasaur tooth". 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praefectus Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 It sure looks mosasaur. Nice find! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokietech96 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I agree mosasaur! Nice find 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Yeah, no doubt about it: mosasaur, and likely mosasaurine, by it's morphology. But that's about as far as I'd dare go on this... 1 'There's nothing like millions of years of really frustrating trial and error to give a species moral fibre and, in some cases, backbone' -- Terry Pratchett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
