Jazzrocks Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hello from Mississippi! I've never posted on here before but I need some experienced eyes to help out with this ID. I found this tooth fragment at the w.m. browning cretaceous fossil park near frankstown last time I went sifting down there. It's been bugging me that I dont know what it is. Def not like the shark teeth you find there so that leaves croc? or mosasaur? Or something else? Its hollow and looks like it would have had a slightly curved cone shape if whole. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoNoel Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 Looks like mosasaur to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzrocks Posted August 19, 2019 Author Share Posted August 19, 2019 (edited) Awesome thanks guys. For future finds, how do I tell the difference between croc/alligator, and mosasaur? Edited August 19, 2019 by Jazzrocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Fleury Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Hi, Awfully hollow of a mosasaur tooth. Some crocs have conical hollows to accommodate teeth erupting from below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
