Hey gang, still going thru old fragments and found this piece that I'm wondering about. Hope there is enough to confirm crocodilan due to the small elongated pits/foramen and maybe rule out any sea turtle jaw/dentary/skull possibilities. Shell pile find. Probably Plio-Pleistocene based on the types of shells found with it. Its approximately 8cm long X 1.7mm wide. It has a small channel/groove along its length that tapers to down to almost 1mm. Also shows a large foramen? that connects to this channel/groove/foramen? thru the flatter side of the bone. Its got many distinctive elongated small pits/foramina? that are only 1-2mm long and none that appear to be larger. I was hoping it was a sea turtle dentary/jaw fragment as that's what I'm looking for in the box of scraps but I cant find any matching comparative photo. I'm not smart enough to say really one way or the other and defer to you all. Is there anything visible that screams crocodilian or what part it may actually be from? Just doesnt seem very robust and seems very thin to me but I've not seen alot of reptile material... Aside from teeth/osteoderms is there anyway to distinguish gator from croc bones that show this kind of pitting? Ok here's a general picture 1st and then I flipped the specimen around in some in better outside lighting. Then some closeups of the pitting. Lastly, a view of the canal like structure that runs the entire length of the piece and seems to be possibly connected to a larger opening/foramen? on the flat side? Hoping this is an easy one for you bone folks. thanks for your thoughts! Regards, Chris
