I’ve said before that Mosasaurs are weird. Yeah, they’re weird, but only as a whole. They’re weird when compared to other critters, but not amongst themselves. Mosasaurs generally keep the same body plan from one genus to another. Every now and then one is found that has something weird about it, and it’s usually the head end. Just one of these finds has a super long snoot not good for booping. Meet Gavialimimus!

@erikjohnson9223 3 года назад

I saw so many small fossilized shark teeth in Florida phosphate rock that I just assumed all phosphate rock is eroded ("tumbled"), fossilized teeth and maybe bones (hydroxyapatite). The "rocks" weren't boulders, more like 4mm (like extremely coarse sand), and are separated from actual sand and clay by soaping then blowing bubbles through the slurry (air is hydrophobic and will stick to the soaped phosphate rock but not to hydrophilic sand or clay, and lift it to the top of the slurry, where it can be skimmed off and sent to the next stage of processing (such as acid digestion to make soluble "superphosphate" fertilizer).

@andrewpaige1194 2 года назад

Keep in mind that there could easily be that many species of animals with the same niche! Think about how many species of fish eating sharks live in the same area, or just how many types of fish that eat other similar sized fish, on any particular reef! There could easily be a dozen mosasaur species living in the exact same area, all competing for the exact same food, unless it was an area with low biodiversity, but that area definitely had a very rich biodiversity, and bioload!

Can you do freshwater mosasaurs?

@trevor3912 3 года назад

Did you just read jnoun’s post on TFF about Moroccan Mosasaurs? A lot of the mosasaurs you listed as present in the phosphates are not officially recognized. Halisaurus walkeri in the Moroccan phosphates is only known from a black market specimen. It is thought to be present, but an official description is still pending. Prognathodon solvayi, Prognathodon hudae and Harranasaurus khuludae are not described in the phosphates. Some Moroccan mine workers think they are present, but I’m not so sure. Prognathodon anceps (=Leiodon anceps) is present and extremely common. It desperately needs a redescription though. Unfortunately, the genus Leiodon has been corrupted quite a bit (this would be a good video topic). Mosasaurus beaugei is the only officially recognized species of Mosasaurus present, but M. hoffmannii does occur extremely infrequently. The Moroccan tylosaur is also an extremely rare occurrence. I know some private collectors that offered to donate a snout and tooth to researchers. The researchers never got back to them. Strange.

@kekera6044 3 года назад

i suppose you're right, especially with how life continues in the cycle it does, even if we WERE to discover all examples of fossils, i assume our current era of flora and fauna would just replace them?

@itarry4 3 года назад

If the fossil is owned by the Morocco museum then it could have been found by them or donated. Your logic that it was non Africans who described the fossil means it was bought doesn't make sense when it was loaned from the museum in Africa.
