Hello Fossil Forum Family & Folk. I recently picked up a McKittrick 'Smilodon Saber and Bones' specimen from an old collection. My concerns: there is so much going on with what I assume is epoxy/filler on the underneath of the tooth that I can't confirm the Smilodon ID. Looks like a saber from the top and one side, but from dead-on and the other side it looks like a thin pyramidical shape (and I can't/won't remove the saber from the tar matrix to figure out exactly what the previous owner or collector did to it). Also, the anatomy of the bone on the left is easy enough, but my lack of knowledge about big cats means I'm not certain of which animal the bone belonged to. Think the ID is correct? Any insights would be deeply appreciated.

I was able to purchase a large bug collection from the 70's and I am looking to trade two of the doubles. Open to any interesting trades that are not anything very common/commercial. They are both from the McKittrick asphalt deposit Pleistocene McKittrick, Kern County, California 1. Partial dragonfly(pretty sure it is a dragonfly) 2. Partial grasshopper, dilophus(fly), and darkling sp. beetle These are very hard to photograph with my old phone, but here they are.

hi all, I got these as part of a collection. The ID card simply said "bird bone" from the Rancho LaBrea Fm, McKittrick. Honestly, birds are not my forte, but I'm trying, given all the bird material that I have collected from Lee Creek. But I digress... I could use some help with the ID of 4 bones. The two here are long limb bones, approximately 3.5in to 4in in length. As for an ID, that's all I can guess. Help! thanks!

Here are the other two in the series. One is a long limb bone, but the other maybe a tarsometatarsal? The shorter of the two is approximately 2.25 in in length.
