flyguy784 Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Nice Phil, very nice. How do you tell the differance between a Mosasaur tooth and a Croc tooth? They look so simular. The tooth I found at inversand has both longitudinal and circuferential ridges, it's not round at the base or anywere along it's length. More of a slight blade shape.

lordpiney Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 hey john...thanks. mos teeth are more oval in the cross section than croc teeth. plus the blade ridges are more pronounced on a mos tooth than a croc's. the people at the dvps all said it was one of the largest mos tooth they had ever seen. it's a monster.

Just Bob Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Hey Phil ,I think if you had posted this before Monday somehow collecting fossils in the rain would not have seemed so bad.
