@tff-praefectus.bsky.socialI had the greatest time at @dinolabinc.bsky.social a couple weeks ago and now I can show off the mosasaur tooth I came home with 😁
Show PostHappy #FossilFriday! Pictured is a jaw fragment from a mosasaur, a large marine reptile. It was found in 85-million-year-old Cretaceous limestone along the Missouri River bluffs, which formed at the bottom of a shallow inland sea during that time.🏞️ #fossil #museum #UNSM #geology #naturalhistory
Show PostOriginally, this specimen was labeled as Nanotyrannus, but those teeth are known for their distinct hourglass-shaped or pinched cross-section. The more oval cross-section is more common in tyrannosaurins like T. rex or Tarbosaurus than earlier tyrannosaurids like Daspletosaurus or Gorgosaurus.
Show PostA dinosaur tooth of an indeterminate theropod, possibly Tyrannosaurus rex from the Hell Creek Formation in Harding County, South Dakota, USA. The oval cross-section suggests T. rex, but it could be something else. #FossilFriday #dinosaur #fossil #paleontology #tyrannosaurus #tyrannosaurid #theropod
Show PostWow, thanks! This is a great resource!
