JVB Posted January 23, 2015 Thanks, hssain. I found similar jaw from a small Trinachromerum polycotylid here in Manitoba, about 80 my old. It is in our Museum ( see: discoverfossils.com, to see our collection of marine reptiles, birds, fish,etc.). Canadain fossil Discovery Centre, Morden. The collection is the most fextensive for marine reptiles in Canada and includes a near complete plesiosaur I found..named Betsi, in honour of a now deceased paleontologist, Betsi Nicholls, who collected the world's largest Ichthyosaur in British Columbia. She studied our fossils for her doctorate thesis, about 30 years ago. JVB Link to comment
