RidgeRunner Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Found this yesterday in the Ramenessin Brook in NJ. I'm thinking it could be a mosasaur tooth. Would appreciate your feedback. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A.C. Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Id be confident in calling that a mosasaur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 Yup, the overall tooth shape conforms to that of a mosasaurine mosasaur, and the shallow and narrow dental cavity clearly set it apart from crocodile. Nice find!
