I'm seeing a lot of good mosasaurs around here, why not post them in this thread for everyone to see? :)

Here's a tooth, nothing really good, but a good starter to the thread :P

Platecarpus ptychodon

Middle-Late Cretaceous

Phosphate Beds, Morocco

Don't think I've shown mine since I've almost finished the model.

Cool. Good reproduction...

It's kind of a carving. I looked into getting a cast, and it was just a little too much money. I realized I had most the parts, and they were almost all less than 3/4" thick. I just traced all the parts onto pine, and then went to work with a dremel on them a little. I made up the missing parts, and I just recently glued it all together, and stained it. I think I might sand it down a little and then restain again so it looks a little more "blotchy". Then again I might just leave it.

Though not near as cool as many of the specimens forum members have found, here's a Halisaurus skull with about 1/3 of the skeleton. It's cool as it is, but he will be artfully articulated after removal from the matrix. It's going to be a very long project. The specimen is from Morocco.
