The tooth on right is from a recently named mosasaur Thalassotitan atrox which was a bulky slow swimmer feeding on ammonites, at a different angle you can see it is quite robust. The tooth on the left is from another recently described species Hainosaurus boubker which was a much slimmer, fast swimming mosasaur that hunted other marine reptiles. Its teeth were narrow and knife-like. Both these teeth represent the largest individuals found so far at around 12-13 meters long!
I had the honor of working on the paper describing Hainosaurus boubker! I am new to the field, and this is my first publication! Any read/download is greatly appreciated and supports my future work!

This man's hand is 12-13 meters wide?

Neat. (No, not sarcastically, I LOVE all science posts, their upvotes are 2nd only to dog posts).

Paleontology posts would be such an awesome trend here! I have a background in earth sciences and would love to see more. =)

I'd like to see an artist's rendering of these puppies. From an artist who knows about the subject.

I may be in American, but even I know that those teeth are not 12 to 13 m long.

thank you for using METERS

It's not the size of the teeth that matters, it's how you use them.

Is that from your great, great, great, great, great Grandma's Vagina dentata?

I downloaded and read. I'm going to send it to my Dentist for analysis. +1 He'll get a kick out of it! Good work.

Great job! Dumb question: how a Marina dinosaur was different from a fish?
Cat3508
No expert here, but I would imagine that a dinosaur would be air breathing, as opposed to fish having gills
EleganceIsDead
What differentiates them is anatomy & classification like actual gilled, cold blooded, scaled or skinned Fish or marine Reptiles/Dinosaurs.

Wow! Exciting that you actually can hold your science in your bare hand
hiyesthisissatan
That's amazing! I keep my science in a folder.

Nuclear scientists can do that to.. madam Curry did it.. she died because of it, but nevertheless she did..

Hey, it's not our fault that Neutrinos slip through your grasp with no effort at all!

Wait til you find out about putting science up your butt!
butlerfly24
Sadly I have done this type...human thermoregulation in cold environments... Sensors went up the subjects butts for internal temps

Determining bone*. fossils are by definition no longer carbon-based, everything has been replaced. Bone sticks to your tongue, a fossil wont
feryooday
Of course, colloquially some people refer to things that aren’t completely fossilized as fossils, and in that case they would.
