Are you absolutely sure you got it all? Because if I was you I would keep going back until I was 100% sure I had it all. Then I would go back a couple more times to see if the was any other goodies in the general vicinity. Will be going back from time to time for sure.

Bone guy Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Well that is straight up amazing. Be thorough with that area, with a stroke of fortune you might be able to find the rest of the mosasaur! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaniBandani Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Wow, incredible! Thanks for sharing that. Amazing find! And I have to say, as a newbie to fossil hunting - I may have walked right by and had no idea what I was looking at! And you managed to get all of those pieces out and put together so nicely. Great job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time you get "skunked" you just need to look at your prize to realize it is all part of the deal (and you are winning!). Always those days where things seem to hide, but yes it sometimes works out. Can't get lucky if you ain't looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max-fossils Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 NO WAY!!!!!!!!! That is phenomenal... My most sincere congratulations on this epic find! Do you plan on giving it to a museum, or will this one take a place of pride among your collection instead? Also, what species do you think it is? Hope that you will find more of it!

Best regards, Max I have donated one before. This is a more common Tylosaurus Proriger that already adorns most museums, so I think the interest is low. Someone will be checking it out this week. I guess we will see..... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
