Brevicollis Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) Hello, I saw this moroccan Mosasaur (P. curii) jaw for sale today, looked at the pictures, and then wondered as I saw the backside of it. It appears like, if there are bitemarks. But are these really ones ? Thanks for any answers !

BirdsAreDinosaurs Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 I would expect bite marks to stay parallel to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdsAreDinosaurs Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 At least if it is from a single bite, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocket Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 more toolmarks, I agree with @Fossildude19. The rims look rought and one scratched. If this are bitemarks, than the predator was a hungry fossil-digger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
