M. hoffmani?

[Fullux]

Howdy all,

 

Picked up what appears to be a beat up little M. hoffmanni tooth from the Khouribga Basin today. Am I correct on the ID?

 

On another note, picked up a nice Thalassotitan atrox tooth as well.

I think I see 4 facets on the first picture. So I would believe it to be Mosasaurus beaugei tooth.

I just counted 5.

That would add up.

M. hoffmannii should have 1-2 facets on labial side.

But on bigger M. beaugei teeth, facets might be hard to see.

 

Here is informative topic if you want to take a look.

Another question in reguards to the thalassotitan tooth I included a picture of, what would be a good stabilizer for it? I've been looking at paleobond and I'm considering that.

I have never used stabilizer myself, so I don't know much about those.

But your tooth seems to be in good condition though.
