Donations for Mosasaur Resarch

Recommended Posts

Ive recently started donating some important Mosasaur finds of mine to Mike Poclyn at SMU for his continuious research of Mosasaurs. I donated  Russellsaurine premaxilla from the Austin Chalk formation in a creek in Dallas County and then a rare Halisaurine dentary which is the only Halisaruine skull piece Mike has ever seen from the North Sulphur river. Mike is truly a awesome guy and I am looking forward to continue working with him in contributing rare finds for research.

Greats finds and donations! Was the Russellosaurine premaxilla from the Atco? And if so, was it towards the lower part of the formation?

It was on a gravel bar so hard tell for sure if it’s austin/Atco or Eagle Ford but the matrix it in holes is white so that’s what I’m going by. The Mosasaur vert and tooth I found where in the Eagle Ford shale.

It's things like these that make me proud of this community

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!
