I bought this large jaw section at MAPS a couple years ago. It was labeled fossil jaw Badlands and that's it. I've collected the Badlands of Nebraska, Wyoming, and South Dakota many times and built a large collection of fossils from these localities. However this jaw has stumped me. My thought was the large Miocene Oreodont Promerycochoerus. Any input will be appreciate. The size of the jaw is 153mm or a little over 6 inches long. The rear molar is 50 mm or 2 inches long. Thank You.

What genus or species is this? Any ideas? I found this small jaw fragment (triangular form - first 5 pics) in the Lower South Bosque Member (Lower Turonian) of Eagle Ford Shale here in Travis County today. I see 7 spots for teeth of which all but one are significantly damaged or worn down. The size is 17mm x 20mm and 10mm tall including jaw. These are the best images I can get with my cell phone. I have found individual 5 to 7 mm tall teeth in this layer also that might fit in this jaw. Could it be a fish instead? Maybe Enchodus? I've also found a pycnodont (last three pics) fish jaw in this layer - slightly smaller sized.

Deer jaw, possibly a fossil

Hi, this might be the wrong thread, correct me if I’m wrong, but I was wondering if anyone has a guess to if it’s a fossil.

Hello, I live in Austin, TX, and my house sits on top of the Glen Rose formation from the late Cretaceous. I usually find bi-valve oyster shells and the like in my yard, but came across something bigger today that seems like it's from a non-invertebrate. Can anyone provide information on what this fossil might be? Thanks. Joe
