Shaemus M Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Hello! I found this fossil probably 20 years ago in the Sulfur River near Ladonia, TX. I was told at the time that it is Cretaceous in age and likely from a Mosasaur. Is this a Mosasaur fossil? And if so, what body part of the Mosasaur is it from? It looks like a joint to me. It is about 6" wide, about 4.5" tall, and is convex on the "bottom". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Welcome to TFF! Looks like a mosasaur vertebrae to Me, but I am not familiar with the location. others will be along with better information. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF.

Fruitbat Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Welcome to The Fossil Forum! The North Sulphur River is rich in mosasaur fossils and that definitely looks like what you've got. -Joe Illigitimati non carborundum Fruitbat's PDF Library Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
