Doesn't Halisaurus walkeri have close to that number of teeth?

hi my lord

halisaurus walkeri is know from a dentary without teeth , the anatomy of this halisaurinae is weird , specially this two bones beetween the frontal and the premaxillary.

Just wondering, is the bottom row the pterygoid teeth? I guess it seems pretty long for pterygoids, compared to the other actual jaw bone, but I can't help thinking the lower bone itself looks much different and more pterygoidaly shaped than the actual jaw bone, being thinner and curved.

This thread is brilliant thank you.

 

One little question though, I recently got some cheap Moroccan Mosasaur teeth online, unidentified on the listing but they arrived labeled "Prognathodon beaugei" and I was immediately confused by what I assume is a naming mistake and Google didn't help.

 

Unless I'm mistaken it looks like somebody in the chain of collecting/purchase/retail has gotten mixed up and labeled them with a combined mix of species.

 

I'll upload photos in later tonight when I can resize the files on my computer to make them suitable for upload, but until then - do you think these are more likely to be a Prognathodon sp. Or a Mosasaurus beaugei?

Edit to add photos

Thank you for wonderful topic. 

I'm a newbie on fossil collecting and I have this jaw and these tooth. But I'm not sure that is Prognathodon anceps or M.beaugei.

That is fantastic reference! Thanks for posting. Interesting how the braincase region seems much longer than that of Halisaurus arambourgi.

 

It's hard to see from these images. But am I correct in thinking the teeth look smaller and even more recurved than those of Halisaurus arambourgi?

hi lordtrilobite

the braincase region is definitly more longer than that of halisaurus arambourgi. for the teeth the are much bigger and more recurved. i will repost pictures with scale for better comprehension.

following the typical tooth of halisaurus walkeri.

Hi, i am form Germany and have been tasked to identify this tooth by my biology teacher. According to a profile (that seems to have been produced by a fifth grader) it is from Oued Zem and/or Khouribgha and the upper cretaceous. 

I apologize for the lack of a size reference, but the tooth itself is About 2,5 to 3 cm Long. 

My best guess is that it is from Prognathodon.

 

Many thanks in Advance, this thread is absolutely Incredible!
