I was out on one of our Miocene beaches famous for the fossil crabs and found a vertebra which looked quite different to other dolphin / whale vertebra I've found but I still put in down as some type of cetacean vert. Some eagle eyed fossil hunters and paleontologists identified it as a potential mosasaurus vertebra when I posted it online (thank Carl!) There are some cretaceous deposits further inland, so potentially it could have been transported by a river or similar down to the beach. It has a definite concave and convex face to it. Is there any other animal it could be, maybe from the cenozoic?

Sawshark concretion with rostrum and teeth (New Zealand)
mamlambo posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi All I recently hiked to a remote area and only found one fossil, but it's a doozy! I've been wanting to find a shark tooth concretion since I heard about them so I was pretty happy when I found this concretion with what looked like a row of teeth and some cartilage in it. I don't think it's common for cartilage to fossilize this well so maybe the rostrum was really dense? I'd love to know what some of the shark tooth experts think about this one! I've started prepping it and there are numerous teeth still inside the concretion. I had to stop with the air scribe and move to acetic and B72 as they are all over the place and I don't want to risk damaging any. It's potentially an Ikamauius ensifer species, but that is still tentative. Of course I got it on video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRXl8mGEIIM
