Hi everyone.

 

I recently bought this Mosasaur fossil that was labeled as a Tylosaurus Humerus, and i just wanted to check if this is indeed a humerus or another part of a mosasaur because looking at some pictures on the internet of mosasaurs (and Tylosaurs) it could also be a radius. It is 5 and a half inches in length and was collected in the Niobrara Formation in the Smoky Hill Chalk (Kansas).

 

Since i am not an expert on mosasaurs (i am still learning about them) and my knowledge is limited, i was hoping someone who knows about mosasaurs could help out in confirming if this does belong to a Tylosaurus and if it is a humerus or a different part. I do trust the seller i just thought it would be worth posting on the forum to see what others think. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 590c50f587b2f_FOSSILPIC3.thumb.jpg.2ba5b18c78b2bc531ddf0d58ed818e01.jpg590c510299f7c_FOSSILPIC4.thumb.jpg.e105a8ef284486b1b822d856ef502406.jpg

This looks just like the other Tylosaur Humerus fossils I've seen. Size wise it looks good too. I'd say the ID is correct :dinothumb:
