I found this Proboscid tooth on a riverbank in Kenya. Is it a recent one from L. africana or something older? It is about 9 or 10 cm long.

On a recent safari through northern Kenya my son picked up a fossil while we were in Sibiloi National Park, Turkana Kenya. After a closer examination I could see that it was the top of an ungulates skull. Here are some images of the skull. I took some basic measurements and we returned the skull to where we found it. Rufous and I would very much like to know what species of antelope this might be. Many of the other fossils in the area appear to be shells, fish verterbra, and crocodian and turtle discoveries have been made close by. Many Thanks for your ideas.

Hi guys, I've been collecting giant fossil tridacna for 20 years. Some of my clams are up to 400 kg but just before Christmas I received a clam that is the biggest I've ever seen! It weighs in at a staggering 612 kg (both sides are still attached by fossil rock which I estimate weighs around 100-140 kg) Is this a world record? Will upload photos, this must be the world's biggest clam surely? How do I upload a photo on this site? (Seeing = believing!!) Best Volker Bassen
