TFF, Yesterday, I was fortunate enough to find (what I consider) a tremendous tooth specimen in Gove County, KS. Unfortunately, plant roots got to the tip of it before I could and because I was a space case and didn't bring superglue, the tip and about 10 other pieces connecting the body to the tip fell away when I excavated it. It's relatively long and straight over its length and it appeared to be separated from the rest of the remains. I tried navigating the Oceans of Kansas site for researching what it belonged to. My first guess is Tylosaurus but I could be completely wrong. Forgive me for not being more educated in Mosasaurs. Does anybody have suggestions for the ID? I just finished trying to reconstruct it myself but my star bond bottle decided it wouldn't seal and now my hands are covered in superglue. I've decided to come to the forum to see if there are any experts out there willing to do a clean and repair job on my tooth. No, it's probably not valuable, but it holds significant sentimental value since this is my first tooth find. I think i gathered all the major pieces to do the job but I feel under-equipped and do not feel like I have the experience to be able to put it back together. Before successfully gluing myself, I was able to put some much-needed glue down on the broken surfaces of the tooth and the tip of the tooth. Now, I think it's stable enough to be shipped if necessary. It'll come with 10 coin envelopes for the connecting pieces. Any help or or suggestions for who may be the best person to contact would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!

Here's one more photo from the Sumter County field trip. This specimen was still in the chalk, perpendicular to the plane of the bed. Sorry I didn't snap an in situ photo. If this one is man-made, you can put the dunce cap sticker by my name for a week

i dont know exactaly but it could only be two mosasaurs eather mosasaurus or prognathodon however i dout it is prognathodon due to the overall shape of it also the tooth is very large it is 2.5 cm tall at the highest point if not taller and about 2.5 3 cms across

...well, forgot to post here that is I guess 2 years later I finally remembered haha! I guess that eliminates any chance of posting my finds to the VFOTM heh Anyways, it's great to be back in the forum I usually come here once every few months, so it's great to see all these new features on the website! Shoutout to the admins for the great work, love it! 2 years ago, I went to the Gobi Desert in northwestern China on an annual hunt for Dinosaurs in cooperation with some of the leading dinosaur paleontologists of the country, along with international paleontologists from the U.S and Canada for a few trips. This is the long overdue report for the 1 month expedition into the Mazongshan desert ranges of northwestern China, in search for the ancestral forms of many famous dinosaurs we know today (such as T.rex, Triceratops, Edmontosaurus, Parasaurolophus etc). Many flat tires met us on our journey to the Early Cretaceous time portal, and we witnessed some of the most beautiful of Earth's scenery, as well as the most terrifying of nature's storms with nothing but a tiny tent for each person's protection. Cut off from civilization as well as the ever-hated internet of our modern day, I was glad to be able to come out relatively unscathed and with the bonus of bountiful fossil finds, all the while standing side by side with pioneers of Chinese dinosaur paleontology, and with the hard working excavation team that accompanies them. Below are some basic stats of the trip Time Period: Early Cretaceous (Aptian - Albian), +-120 million years ago Dinosaur Occurrences: Neoceratopsians Tyrannosauroids Unidentified Dromaeosaurs Hadrosauroides Titanosaurs Therizinosauroides Other Vertebrates: Fish Crocodiles Turtles Birds Pictures coming soon, hang tight!

Here are a couple of Nautilus I have finished up. The small one is from the Fox Hills Formation, the bigger one is from the Pierre Shales of eastern Montana. The really neat thing about the bigger one is that its in its own concretion. Very very hard to find one like that! First one ive seen! Oh, a bit over 6 hours of prep for the bigger one. RB

Looking for opinions on this one. Small and unassuming but if my gut feeling is correct very rare. I found this little bone when sieving through some matrix 19-10-16. The matrix is cretaceous albian in age and comes from a marine environment. The length is 5mm and the scale in photos is 1mm squares. the crack seen in the as found photo indicates the bone is hollow thus my assumption of an unknown bird. I have found several what are believed to be enantiornithine bones in the area that I have since donated to a museum for study, but this one was found a kilometer away so not an associated piece. As usual thanks in advance for any input Mike D'Arcy
