Kevofossilhntr 2 Posted May 13, 2019 Is it possible to narrow down what type of mosasaur a tooth came from? Found a tooth but it looks different from the typical ones I see all over google. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevofossilhntr 2 Posted May 13, 2019 Also I found these other teeth as well, I think that the skinny pointy one is enchodus but not 100% sure. The broken one possibly plesiosaur?? Any thoughts? All teeth from NJ Cretaceous area Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Macrophyseter 603 Posted May 13, 2019 +1 for mosasaur regarding the first pics IMO +1 for enchodus like Wolf89 proposed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fossildude19 14,886 Posted May 13, 2019 The mosasaur tooth looks like it might be a pterygoid tooth. See this page for the species found in New Jersey brooks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevofossilhntr 2 Posted May 13, 2019 Awesome thank you! In that article the tooth looks almost identical to the mosasaur Proghathodon species, smaller and very curved like I’m leaning twards that. Any idea on the last 2 pictures? I think plesiosaur? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Macrophyseter 603 Posted May 13, 2019 If they were plesiosaur teeth, I would be expecting a form more broad than the ones in the last picture. Could be fish teeth IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Jersey Devil 719 Posted May 23, 2019 The first one is a Mosasaur tooth, probably Prognathodon. The next two are Enchodus fangs. The fourth is a worn down sawfish rostral, Ischyrhiza mira. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
