I found several bone fragments with broken teeth, location is Rosebud County Montana, these were picked from a coulee located on private property.

The fragments may or may not be from the same specimen but all were collected within a few yards up or downstream from each other.

I was only able to attach this one pic, warning says I can only upload 3.95m.,,, is there a way to attach more without cutting picture quality?

Put the pictures as replies, I think this might be Mososaurus but I am no expert in the area.

You can add additional pictures in a reply to this thread.

The 3.95 megabyte limit is per post.

 

Have You tried fitting the pieces together?

Thanks for the quick response on the ID, I have another section that most likely goes with this one but there's a piece missing in between.

I'll post more pics here in a few minutes, many thanks for directing me on how to post over the limit.

This is another frontal piece, it looks different compared to the others.

Next pic is another angle.

Some of the rock I removed from this piece matched the other pieces.

I have another that doesn't match these with larger rooted teeth but it is in poor condition.

I'll post it next.

I think Mosasaur too.  Someone with more knowledge on skull parts can answer on the last pic maybe.  The raised part almost looks like a frontal in the last pic, but the parts around it do not.  Again, I’m no expert by any stretch.

 

And just saw your actual  frontal piece and it def looks like a frontal, the “looks different” one above . :)    Wonder what the ridge or raised part is on that last piece though.

 

nice tooth too!

Very nice. Those are indeed mosasaur jaw fragments.
