Worn Vert From Nsr, Possible To Id?

[JimTh]

Went on a trip to Texas for work recently. Took some coworkers to the Ladonia park. Of course, one of them finds a vert and an ammonite. I had to settle with one whole and one partial Mosasaur tooth.

Realizing it's pretty worn, can anyone put a name to this for her?

It's a Mosasaur vert, nice find------Tom

+1 on Mosy. Very nice.

At only about a CM wide, it's a very small mosasaur vertebra. Isn't Ladonia (SE Fannin Co., NE Texas - I've been enjoying your origin-myth on TV) in the lower Taylor Group, like the Ozan Fm.? That'd be about middle Campanian. It could be a post. tail vert. of the small mosasaurine mosasaur Clidastes propython, which does occur in that area.

That's an inch ruler, my friend! Notice the fractions.

Thanks for the responses. She's quite excited and I'm jealous.

In that case, just a mosasaurine caudal vertebra.
