Hunting at McFadden Beach

Recommended Posts

I've found a number of fossilized jaws on this beach that I have no clue of the animal they came from.

Hopefully someone here will be able to tell me. We also find many bones of probably bison that hasn't fossilized. So here are a few pics -------- 103_0010.thumb.JPG.230c38ab43678e76fe970f2c54d0b4d6.JPG103_0011.thumb.JPG.a0bae9e39f49d92630df77d127f36c57.JPG103_0012.thumb.JPG.049206b2972321acd4c3f2ccc05bcbfc.JPGResizerImage1536X1152.thumb.jpg.520186a3c078e34ecc45313ad3a7760e.jpg003.jpg.8aa7a8bf8fed65992519c62a1d322551.jpg

This is what the beach looks like.

I'm not sure about the others, although my ID could apply to them too, but to me that last jawbone looks like its from a horse. I couldn't track down a good picture of a horse jawbone without teeth in order to compare the socket alignment, but it's definitely thin and straight enough to be a possibility. Nice find! Since they are so thin they usually tend to already be fragmented when I find them, missing one side or the other.
