Auspex Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 The bone structure certainly looks "fishy".

Ramo Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Looks mosasaur to me. For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Here is a photo of the inside of a tylosaur jaw, it looks a lot like yours, with the empty sockets.

Auspex Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 In Falcondriver's pic, the teeth are much closer together, and the grain of the bone is very different.

Ramo Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I was thinking Clidastes. They are smaller with closer teeth. That photo is before the bone was cleaned. If you go to my gallery and look at the mosasaur skull you will see that it is similar in texture. Thanks for the help Mike!

Xiphactinus Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Pretty sure that is a Pachyrhizodus fish jaw. They look a lot like mosasaur, but that's def a fish jaw. The teeth are too short and regular in size for Xiphactinus and too heavy for Ichthyodectes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 After looking at the fish skull, I'm changing my guess to Pachyrhizodus too! For one species to mourn the death of another is a new thing under the sun. -Aldo Leopold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 After looking at the fish skull, I'm changing my guess to Pachyrhizodus too! After looking at the other pictures, I'm guessing fish.
