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.

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 ;)

Yeah, I also consider this Eremiasaurus heterodontus...

Yeah, but only one of those answers came from me. hahaha. Why don't you ask the others to explain their reasoning :P:P:P
