-Andy- Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Looks like it came from the Khouribga Phosphate Deposits of Morocco Size and morphology looks right to me. Can't see any obvious restoration. It's authentic but it could also be mosasaur. Will have to leave it to another expert who can tell the difference between the two Looking forward to meeting my fellow Singaporean collectors! Do PM me if you are a Singaporean, or an overseas fossil-collector coming here for a holiday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Real vertebrae. For ID a photo of the underside will be needed. Plesiosaurs have two small foramen (holes) on the underside of their vertebrae. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 It's still kinda hard to tell. Those photos really are too small and kinda overbright. But the general shape looks like Plesiosaur. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordTrilobite Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Yup, looks like plesiosaurid. The last photo clearly shows those holes/foramen on the bottom. 1 Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
