Hi guys I have quite a few teeth that I would love to be able to identify ;) 

let’s start with mosasaurs I think

Hi Will,

All of them are mosasaur teeth, with the teeth at #3 belonging to Globidens phosphaticus, but often incorrectly being referred to commercially as Igdamanosaurus aegypticus, which, however, has quite distinct teeth more akin Prognathodon currii. The rest appear to be prognathodontid - that is, Prognathodon sp.. Care to chip in @Praefectus?

Just for the sake of it, here's a table I drafted to help identify durophagous mosasaurs from the phosphates (original posted here). It could probably do with an update with respect to Carinodens minalmamar, but at the time I drafted this, too little information was available to me to do so.

Thanks that’s a very helpful ID guide ;)
