FOSSIL UPLOAD
First, make sure you have a myFOSSIL account, this is required to upload your fossil information. If you are interested in seeing if your fossil can be used for research purposes, please follow through the following steps. They walk you through the information needed and why it is helpful for other scientists to use it for research questions. Even if the information you have on your fossil is not enough to be used for research purposes it will still benefit the community through educational means and help others identify their fossils. Specimens that have sufficient information will be uploaded to iDigBio and GBIF (Global Biodiversity Information Facility) for public accessibility.
If you have already gone through the stepwise process that explains each piece of data please click through to a summary tab where you can enter in your specimen data on a single page.

I think is a mosasaure tooth
I must say it does look like mosey tooth
but I know its not
This is a badly repaired Otodus obliquus from Morocco. Mosasaur? Not even close and depending on the species the enamel portion can be up to 3 inches long. See: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=mosasaur+teeth&iax=images&ia=images and for Otodus: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Otodus+teeth&t=ffab&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images
mosasaur teeth are quite different. this tooth is quite easily seen to be from a shark. mosasaur teeth had a rather different shape, but most of all a different root. @noah-haumann many mosasaurs had quite big teeth. one that l own is the length of my thumb, as big as a great white’s
@leonardo-miranda damn, i didn’t know that
it’s not great white, it’s from a bull shark
@timothy-king then its a Full 5cm tooth, its a otodus tooth
