Deinocheirusmaster! Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I once went to a rock shop in Utah a few months back and they had a wooden box with Moroccan mosasaur teeth in it. Most of them had no tip and kids were messin with the teeth causing more damage. I rescued this one and got the tip to and repaired it. However, I see a similarity of the tooth to one I saw in Kansas that belonged to Platecarpus. Could this tooth be a Platecarpus tooth from Morocco? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bone guy Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 It does look unique, more slender than most moroc mosasaur teeth I see. But I don't know much about mosasaurs, so I can't say if this is platecarpus or not. Maybe @LordTrilobite can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Nope, not a "Platecarpus" ptychodon. Some mosasaurs have more slender teeth in the front of their jaws. So this is probably a more anterior tooth from possibly Prognathodon sp., Eremiasaurus heterodontus or Mosasaurus sp. 2 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll keep that info in mind but thank you for the identification help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
