I agree it is likely from a mosasaur.  Mosasaur vertebrae are typically concave on one face and convex on the other, as is your specimen.  I assume this is from the same area as the other fossils you have been posting?

I appreciate that, Carl.  I say that as one who has done his share of educating the masses , including our very own geology/paleo professor.

Otherwise you can always take the easy/lazy way and say "vert, verts" :P
