Picked up these two teeth yesterday while out hunting fossils and arrowheads. Mosasaurs, most like Tylosaurus prorigor, the T-Rex of the Cretaceous sea. If only I could extract some DNA and clone one of these buggers, I might have some real fun at the beach!!!!

It was a pretty fun outing, but COLD!!
Hey, nice find!
Mosasaurs are funny little buggers.
Except that they are not little. Or funny. As I found out from a google search.
But they do look cool.

Nice find Indy :cheers:
Fun hobby you've got there.
Good eyes! :thumbup:
How long did it take you find them?
I spent the whole day on the river . . . no arrowheads, but about 10 pounds of fossil bones and teeth. Both my partners got complete points as well as fossils.
I'm a bit strapped for cash right now, if anyone would like to own these authentic mosasaur teeth, they are available on EBay . . . .

Looks like a bargain to me, but I can't help but think how lame ebay is these days. :bluesad:
I put in a bid. The wee one would probably love to have those. She's still crazy for dinosaurs.
Thanks man! Good luck!
