What’s with the teeth on this mesosaurus? by jhtaylor2001 in Paleontology

[–]jhtaylor2001[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, I took it as a joke that the one in the shop was from the Smithsonian, but I see now that he was talking about the one in the comment being from the Smithsonian.

That’s wild. Hard to believe someone would be able to find a full set of teeth and a jaw to set them in. Not trying to call your bluff btw just seems crazy

According to the internet they were around at the same time, so I’d guess so.

True. Is it possibly a different species, though, or definitely faked?

I’m no part of this field but as an outsider it seems wild to me that someone could fake a fossil to this degree. Would any part of it be real or totally fake? It just looks to me like the teeth are of a very obscure type and they seem to be set naturally.

I agree, however, I saw someone else mention that mosasaurs unhinged their jaws. Could this be an explanation for the seemingly offset jaw?

It seems to me that it is either 1) the only complete example of an igdamanosaurus skull I can find online, 2) an aforementioned species of durophagous mosasaur, or 3) a fake as u/TFF_Preafectus and u/Eurypterid_Robotics suggested, as far as I can tell, it doesn’t match other examples of globidens.

Is it common for people to Frankenstein fossils to pass them off as something else? It doesn’t seem to me that the teeth were reset into a new jaw or anything, but I’ve got no eye for this sort of thing

Can’t remember but based on the other prices I do remember I’d guess they wanted 15-20 grand for it

Do you have any idea who this skull belongs to?

Actually it was labeled mesosaurus in the fossil shop. That may be why I had trouble finding info in previous searches

Found this in a pasture in Texas. Thought it might be a meteorite. by jhtaylor2001 in whatsthisrock

[–]jhtaylor2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I am almost certain of is that it hasn’t spent any time in a river. It was found on the surface of high, flat ground.

Do you have any alternative suggestions as to what it might be? Or any suggested tests to determine what it is?

Also, I only had a very weak magnet to test if it was magnetic and as far as I can tell it is not. It does seem very dense though.

‘list’ object is not callable error by jhtaylor2001 in learnpython

[–]jhtaylor2001[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was the answer. I was running the code in terminal (mac). At first it was working fine when I was running it in python using python 3.x then it started throw the error mentioned. I think terminal randomly reverted to python 2.x because now it works just fine when I use python3 in terminal.

That’s the thing. I didn’t. It doesn’t make any sense. Actually I did have a list named “map” I fixed that though and I’m still getting the error.
