Hello dear fellow forum members, some years ago I acquired a partial Hoplophoneus skull from the white river badlands. The seller included some small bones supposedly found in more or less close association with the skull. I think a proximal fragment of the radius, some broken metapodials and digits, something that may be part of a skapula and maybe an astragalus, all except the digits with big question marks behind my ID. And one conical thing that I cannot place, first hope was maybe a badly preserved tooth, but I do not think so any more. Any ideas? Thanks! J

Hello again. I wanted to share this jaw section I found in Wyoming's White River back in July 2020. My initial thoughts were that it belonged to the primitive canid Hesperocyon, which in my experience has been the most abundant carnivore in those badlands, however, it doesn't quite match the other material I found which I'm confident is dog. While scrolling through the forum I saw some similarities to a jaw section labelled as Daphoenus by @Nimravis on the thread below: The fossil itself is 3 cm long and ~2 cm from the tip of the tooth to the base of the jaw. I'd be interested to see some opinions. @jpc @ParkerPaleo @siteseer

False Saber-Tooth Cat Tooth?
BellamyBlake posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
I have here a tooth that a merchant claims is Nimravid, or a false saber-toothed cat, perhaps even Dinictis more precisely. It was found in North Western Nebraska, Oligocene, and is from the Brule Formation. Based on that, does this appear to be credible?- 2 replies

This is an amazing Pogonodon platycopis skull from the John Day Formation in Oregon. These are some of the most rare of the Nimravidae, as well as some of the oldest. See also Eaton 1922, Fremd et al. 1994, Macdonald 1970, Matthew 1910, Scott and Jepsen 1936 and Thorpe 1920
