New tooth, don't think it's mosy.

Found this tooth today at Post Oak Creek. Don't think it is mosasaur. Doesn't look right. Thinking it could be plesiosaur or croc? I have one worn plesiosaur I found a couple of years ago. Thoughts?

Looks like a plesiosaur to me.

If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM!

Doesn't look like croc...my vote is with plesiosaur.

I'm pretty sure it's plesiosaur. I find mosasaur in that general area pretty much every month or so and I don't have an like that.

I am not an expert by any means, but to me the base of the tooth is not right for Plesiosaur. I think it is more likely croc.

I've never seen croc from that location.

Like I said, I'm not an expert. Especially when it comes to Texas locations.
