AJ Plai Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hi Got these teeth from a bowl full of mosasaur teeth for sale cheap. The teeth on the left and right look Mosasaur-ish enough, but the tooth in the middle seem a little long for a mosasaur. Anyone kind help me ID and confirm this? (Please let it be something good and rare ;p) Thx in adavnce!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scylla Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 It is something good and rare! It is a fossil tooth. I think and end-on pic would help those who are good at these ID's give you a more specific answer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kosmoceras Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 It looks a bit like a enchodus tooth, they sometimes turn up mixed in with mosasaur and other shark teeth. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Plai Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 OK here are some more pics. Note: the bottom of the tooth has some blutac mark, but the tooth isn't hollow from what I have seen. The other two are Mosasaur Teeth right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordTrilobite Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Yes the two other teeth are Mosasaur teeth. Pretty nice too. Though nigh impossible to indentify, the left tooth looks like Prognathodon. The middle tooth does indeed look like the fang of an Enchodus/Sabretooth Herring. Nice, but not rare, especially for such a small one. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
