Reebs Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Hello, I found this jawbone in Manatee County, Florida. The piece I found is about 3” long, 1” tall and .5“ wide. Please help with ID. Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It size and shape is the holes in the one in question seems more akin to a Barracuda...?!?? This I found there too and I believe to be gator as the tooth holes are nice and round for those big Ol’ Florida gator teeth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reebs Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 ...but I truly have no clue on any of the above. This is just my thought process out loud. It could be. Thanks for chiming in @Familyroadtrip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrehistoricWonders Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I’m no expert but I’d @Shellseeker @Harry Pristis @Bone Daddy might be able to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I think it's from an odontocete mandible. 4 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bone Daddy Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Harry beat me to it. Partial whale/porpoise/dolphin jaw. When I find those, I just label them as "dolphin jaw section". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
