JorisVV Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Here is a beautiful Mosasaur upper jaw with still it's original teeth. Though over the weeks had some discussions with multiple people wondering or claiming what it is. I got told: Eremaiasaurus, Prognathodon sp., Mosasaurine sp, unidentified species?, even baugei. Anyone possible to help me? Or may start a nice discussion over this specimen. Found in Sidi Chennane, Couche 3 Morocco phosphatic deposites Biggest crown measures just above 5 Cm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brevicollis Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 (edited) Have the anterior teeth a single anterior carina ? If so, it might be Eremiasaurus heterodontus, but I'm by no means an expert. The high, and more slender look of them, also lets me think that it might be this species, but I could be wrong here. But I'm willing to learn from the experts and others ! @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon, @Praefectus might be able to help here more than me Edited July 30 by Brevicollis 1 My account and something about me : My still growing collection : My paleoart : I'm just a young guy who really loves fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Yeah, I also consider this Eremiasaurus heterodontus...
