indominus rex Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I received a mosasaur jaw in matrix and I found something is the side which I think is a cow shark(Hexanchus) because of the formation but it is broken in half, it is from Morocco. Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 It could be but it's hard to see the tooth, It could also be the side cusps of a larger shark. Can you post a picture of the tooth by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troodon Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I don't believe it's a Hexanchus but side cusps possibly Cretalamna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indominus rex Posted May 26, 2017 Author Share Posted May 26, 2017 Thanks for the information, I just want to confirm its identity because it is quite interesting to find it so close to the mosasaur jaws Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
