JohnBrewer Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hi folks Are all mossy verts concave one side and convex t'other? All the images I've found aren't clear enough. @JarrodB @doushantuo @LordTrilobite John Map of UK fossil sites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 As far as I know Mosasaur vertebrae are procoelous. So the front is concave and the back is convex. I'm not aware of any of the other types of verts in Mosasaurs, but I'm not an expert. 3 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
