Identification of Whale/Dolphin/Cetacean fossil skull fragment
bluefish1766 posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi all I purchased this cetacean skull fragment from a person who collected it in South Carolina many, many years ago. She said that she found it specifically in the ACE basin (Ashepoo, Combahee, Edisto Basin) while diving. I want to see if anyone can help me identify the species. I figure it's a cetacean skull, likely from an odontocete (?sperm whale or relative), and possibly consists of the premaxillary bones (with the large fossa for the melon) and others. I've included a number of photos. It measures 16 in long, 8 in wide, and 7 in tall and weighs over 13 lbs. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I went back out to see my bison and with some help removed the skull! It is mostly intact too! A few pieces came apart but they are in good condition and can probably be restored. Thanks for looking!

Hi all! I’ve been on this site before, asking about a vertebrae I found. I figured since y’all were so kind and welcoming maybe you would help me again! I was walking along the Myrtle Beach, SC this morning and saw this strange looking rock. Washed it off, and I’m positive it’s not just a rock. It looks like a turtle shell to me, but I’m not so sure. as for dimensions, I didn’t have a ruler on me, but an estimate is 3 inches long by an inch and a half at the thick end. I’ll post more photos if necessary, but it has a size limit for the post. Thanks again guys!

I don't truly know where this was found but possibly north sulfer river, texas which is near here. Any help, guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank-you

Finally made it out to the Peace River yesterday - the river is still a little high at most spots, but this winter has been too rainy to be picky about the gauge height. We found some small teeth and the usual minor things - broken mammoth tooth plates, antler, scutes, dugong rib, etc. We did find one oddball thing that I am fairly certain is a catfish skull. At first glance, laying in place, it looked like a snake skull, but on closer examination it appears to be a fish. I did some Google searches, but most of the catfish skulls I saw looked a bit different than this. Gar maybe? Eel? or ?

Great variety today. I’ll add more pics tomorrow but just had to get this piece uploaded tonight. I’m almost positive this is capybara. I only hesitate because I have not found any other capybara material on the Brazos River. Needless to say , I’m pretty stoked with this find!!! Will definitely be entering this in FOTM!!!

Can anyone please help me find any pictures of pappocetus skulls? There's only one diagram of a lower jaw that I can find, and one site says that it's known from the that type specimen/mandible, and they generally specify if something is known from many specimens. was pappocetus ONLY known from the type specimen? Now the same person, has found a second mandible, I believe, but that's all the mention of any pappocetus fossils found, that I can find mention of anywhere.
