I've read, that one of the Megalodon nurseries; was likely in Panama. I've also read, that Megalodon likely used the easy access between the Atlantic and Pacific; in ancient Panama. I have not seen Megalodon specimens, from Panama. There are teeth from many different locations, available for sale. Where are the teeth from Panama?

I found some pictures of the Biomuseo in Panama City from when I visited a while back. Please excuse the blurry and unfocused photos, I was not the best with a camera back then! If you are ever traveling to Panama then this is a must-stop; it has plenty of information of both modern and prehistoric life, as well as the largest aquarium in Panama. Since Panama is a relatively new landmass (geologically speaking), its geology is mainly post-Cretaceous. When I eventually return here I will definitely be cataloguing the exhibits better, there are many more than what took pictures of.

Only one species left, but about thirty past species of sea cow in the fossil record. This one probably ate sea grass and had tusks. (Saber tooth sea cow?) http://www.sci-news.com/paleontology/tusked-sea-cow-culebratherium-alemani-06953.html

I am trying to identify these bones. I believe they are from a tropical fish or other water animal, 2 different kinds, but I cannot figure which.

This shark tooth was found deep in a cave on an island which is off the Panamanian coast (Atlantic side). It appears to be a fossilized mako shark tooth; however, I haven't been able to identify the exact Isurus species. It doesn't appear to be either of the currently living mako shark species, Isurus Oxyrinchus or Isurus Paucus. That leaves eleven other extinct species. Any help would be very appreciated!

I found it within a cave on Isla Bastimentos, which is an island off the Atlantic coast of Panama. The cave had fast flowing sea water. Thus far it appears to be either fossilized pharyngeal teeth or a dermal plate. I'm trying to figure out if they're actually fossilized and more importantly what species it likely belongs to. Size: Approximate 1.25cm x 1.0cm x 0.5cm
