Tolmanbridge Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Just got another lot of Moroccan fossils and these three have me stumped. I know I've seen the first one somewhere before but I can't find anything on it. The shark tooth is similar to one I asked about previously but doesn't have the same ridges as the last one. And the final tooth looks like a mosasaur tooth but has a strange flat section on one side of the tooth. Any assistance in identifying these would be wonderful. Thanks for your help in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacTheFossilMan Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 The 'mosasaur' tooth is in fact a mosasaur; I believe it to be M. beaugei - @Praefectus @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon - thoughts? ~ Isaac; www.isaactfm.com "Don't move!

Ivaldir Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 3rd picture vaguely reminds me of a fish basioccipital. Not saying it's that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pathological prognathodontine tooth and, as I don't see an anterior carina, may be a palatal tooth.
