Kasia Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Dear TFF Members, these are the fossils I found during my last fossil hunt - I need help with ID No. 1 Skull and vert of? No. 2 A part of jaw with 1 tooth No. 3 Teeth of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasia Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 No. 4 Three fragments of jaws - teeth seem the same to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasia Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 No. 5 - the teeth did not survive, so it will be probably quite difficult to ID, but I'll give it a try No. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasia Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 No. 7 It has the same colour as the skull and vert no. 1 No. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Most of these identifiable teeth are from domestic pigs. No. 4 has a deer-like ramus, but that's a weak factor. No. 5 is a canid -- dog, wolf. 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...
Coco Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 7 is perhaps a Castoridae.

That would be really cool Do you think the skull and the vertebra on picture no. 1 are also of the same animal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hi, I don't think the skull is castoridae because they don't have a sagittal crest like that. I can't help you about the vertebra, except maybe it’s an atlas.

fossillarry Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I'm a bit confused! Are these specimens from Africa as were the fossils from your previous post? If so my IDs will depend on where they are from. The top several pictures are the back portion of a skull. What you are calling a verteba is the basioccipital bone,the back of the skull. The large opening is the foramen magnum through which the madulla oblongota exits beginning the spinal cord. These two bones should fit snugly together if they are from the same individual. The maxillary bones with the tooth are from a rodent and could be part of this skull,the color seem to match. Any further identifications will have to wait locality of specimens.

Hi, nope - these are from Poland from the facility excavating sand from the Vistula River, not far from Warsaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
