Good evening, I found this at a creek in Austin Texas and doesn't resemble most of my mosasaur vertebrae.

A long time ago I pulled something out of my ear that looked similar to that.:P

I’d call it a chunkosaurus, though vert is possible.

Happy hunting,

I agree. 

It's a nice piece of bone, but hard to know from what. 

Or it may be something Dave found in his ear.

With no original surface structure remaining, how can You tell what it came from?

 

I go with the chunkasaurus ID.

When you find numerous ones each trip at NSR you can kind of tell what they were. What do you think @believerjoe?

Mosasaur caudal vert with all the outer bone tumbled away.  Convex on one end and concave on the other.  See indications of where the lower processes would have attached also. Can’t give a species though as it is too far gone.
