Toothless, 33-Million-Year-Old Whale Could Be an Evolutionary ‘Missing Link’

A new paper regarding toothed mysticetes is available online: Azucena Solis-Añorve; Gerardo González-Barba; René Hernández-Rivera (2019). "Description of a new toothed mysticete from the Late Oligocene of San Juan de La Costa, B.C.S., México". Journal of South American Earth Sciences. in press. doi:10.1016/j.jsames.2018.11.015. Niparajacetus is the second Oligocene mysticete to be described from Mexico and the southernmost occurrence of an aetiocetid-like mysticete from the Pacific Coast. I wanted to see if anyone has a copy of the this paper because there's no free access at the website for this paper.

I posted a topic - Middle Devonian of Livingston County New York - recently and decided to include the other shelves in the display case. Also a fellow member requested to see more in the room so its their fault I had many more Oligocene fossils at one time and this is what I kept over the years (either I found it or it means something to me). Im sure there will be questions for me. Thanks, Mikeymig

I found this little astragalus with PaleoProspectors in Wyoming in late July of this past summer. It was found during the day spent on a ranch with White River Formation Oligocene exposures. I was wondering what animal it belonged to. Leptomeryx? Poebrotherium? some sort of oreodont?

This fossil was found by my uncle on the beaches of Onslow county in North Carolina. The fossil is roughly 18-19 inches long and 3-4 inches in width at its base. Any help is appreciated, ty.j

From the album: Pisces
32mm. Not so sure about the info and determination on this one, therefore the cf. Picked it up on an internet auction where the only information I could get was "Parotodus, South Carolina". However, with the help of the friends on the id forum I was able to narrow down the id and also am pretty certain that it was found in a river in the Oligocene. -
Good afternoon, I found this item during a during a pre Hurricane Florence visit to Onslow Beach. It seems to have some earmarks of a bone but the shape is very unusual. I am also leaning towards it being an interesting piece of nothing.Thank you in advance for any and all assistance.

This shell was found in-situ in a late Oligocene formation. The site represents a shallow tropical near-shore environment in what is now the Gulf of Mexico. What is strange to me is the unusual marking on it that I have not been able to determine the identity of. I want to say that it is a bite mark from something, but I really have no idea as this is really not my area of expertise. Edit: I am not referring to the borehole produced by a predatory snail, but the scratch marks near it. I figured that it would at least make for an interesting conversation. The shell measures about 2" across.
