Seguidora-de-Isis Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 In this small lot, the seller is selling several Morocco Mosasaur teeth. Please, then I have two questions: 01 - Are all these teeth real? 02 - Is there any way to distinguish which one is Prognathodon, Halisaurus and etc? Thanks for all the comments! Teeth 01 Teeth 02 Teeth 03 Teeth 04 Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantoraptor Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yes, they are all real but some of them are glued. @LordTrilobite knows a lot of mosasaur teeth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troodon Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Yep the teeth are real and LordT can help with the ID's. Teeth are so common not its not worth it to fake them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Loose teeth are notoriously difficult to properly identify. And often it's not even possible to put a genus on it. That being said, I don't see anything that resembles Halisaurus here, as they have fairly slender teeth that are quite recurved. Nor do I see teeth that resemble "Platecarpus" ptychodon. This could be anything from Prognathodon or Eremiasaurus to Mosasaurus. And yeah, these are real teeth. They are so common it's no use to fake these. It's the rooted ones that are rarer and as a result are more often faked. 4 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Real, but not top quality. Can't say which genera they're from. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
