So I went back to Sharktooth to dig on Saturday. My friend wanted to go, since she didn't go last time, so I took the second trip. My friend found a nice number of shark teeth, on particularly nice Mako-like tooth with complete root, as well as some other nice ones. She did quite well, with a significantly better tooth count than I had. She was working new holes, while I worked a place that had started producing decent teeth a couple of weeks ago, including a cetacean partial tooth. Out of that hole came this interesting specimen. I was thinking allodesmus, but it would seem to be

These are a few of the pdf files (and a few Microsoft Word documents) that I've accumulated in my web browsing. MOST of these are hyperlinked to their source.

I may have posted some of these years ago but here are four nice specimens from Bakersfield not the Ernst quarries and Harts park area. The make is a hair over 3 inches and very wide, the plants comes from the " fire zone" area of Harts park, the cow shark tooth is nice and clean and the Juvenile Desmostylus was from my last Ernst quarry digs. Most of my collection is back in Texas but I have these and a few others with me.

Found these 6 months ago on central oregon coast and haven't been able to ID. A buddy came over for thanksgiving and texted some pics around to other folks. Best answer came this morning as desmostylus teeth. I never would have thought teeth, they seem more like a coral or sea anemone to my untrained eye. Looking at pictures of desmo teeth, they are mostly smaller and heavily warn down. If these are teeth, were they unused/ or unemerged from the jaw like adult teeth replacing a baby tooth? Ill put up some more pics, and any info/ confirmation is appreciated.

I thought I'd post a couple shots of my haul from this last months museum dig down in Bakersfield, California. It was a decent trip, even with the last day being cut short by rain. I found over 130 perfect makos, plus a few interesting mammal teeth. I found an upper and lower Alodesmus canine, both of which are decent sized, as well as large Desmostylus molar. Unfortunately, I destroyed what was once one of the largest makos I've ever come across. At the end of the first day I took a couple last pokes with the shovel and just blasted this 3 1/8" hastalis. Really bummed me out, but thats
