Paleoworld-101 Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Awesome find! Compare with a few other Gault Clay reptile teeth here- http://www.gaultammonite.co.uk/Pages/Reptiles/Bone_1.htm "In Africa, one can't help becoming caught up in the spine-chilling excitement of the hunt. Perhaps, it has something to do with a memory of a time gone by, when we were the prey, and our nights were filled with darkness..." -Eternal Enemies: Lions And Hyenas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) I'm leaning more towards pliosaur. Beautiful!! Edited March 3, 2015 by Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 The hint if a slightly bulbous base seems more pliosaur-like to me.
