Can anyone give me any information you know about compound mosasaur jaws? Anything would be helpful. Any pictures with your compound and real jaws which me and Jordy could use would also be great, thank you in advance!

Kan iemand mij enige informatie die je kent over samengestelde (neppe) mosasaurus kaken? Alles wat nuttig zou zijn. Geen foto's van uw eigen kaak die ik en Jordy zouden kunnen gebruiken (ook echte kaken mogen) zou ook geweldig zijn,
Dank u bij voorbaat!

Thank you from Me and Jordy!

No one has any real or fake Mosasaur jaws we could use?

Hello Odin,

As you know i had a fake mosasaur jaw also. I could'nt sell it on the internet, so i decided to put it in the water and preperate the teeth out. After a few minutes the matrix became instable and i could easily tick it off with a pincet or even with my finger. Now i just have 6 damaged teeth, i also filmed it but with an iphone so its bad quality. I will upload them if you want??

Hi, please upload it! This was a bad idea! Many people want to buy them! How much did you put it up for?
I can get 10 teeth for £7.00! Cheap! Why did you do it!

I'll upload it tommorow.

Me and someone else are writing about these Mosasaur compound jaws, so could you tell me everything you found out about it? Any good pictures we could use on this publication would be helpful!
How much did you get that jaw for? Oh, and are the teeth half’s or whole repaired ones?
PS: Email me and I can give you a link to a interesting thing you might want to read abut these jaws.
Thank you,

Thank you for the links!:D These Jaws are very expensive. If you want a copy of the publication, just mail me, or look at the other topic where you can download it!:)

Ok, I think I found the winner.

"This amazing and very rare piece is a cast of a Fossilized Skull and Jaw of a Mosasaur incorporating the original teeth, jaw bone and other fragements which are approximately 65 - 85 Million years old."

A randon collection of bones (?) thrown together to look like a skull and neck, but looks more like a giant road kill. Could be that to sort of match the discription and save their a*ses legally there is a piece of original jaw bone in there. The best part, though, is

"It was excavated in Lyme Regis"

And the very very best part is

"Price: £1,295.00"

Oh, I never knew things could look so bad! I am not sure that it was found at Lyme. It seems to be fragments from Morocco!
