Kiros Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 So many shark, dinosaurs topic! Now I want to see your favourite and more particular fossil mammal! It can be your rarest or your strangest fossil but the fossil you love the most. Let me start with this partial juvenile metailurus mandible from Hipparion red clay of Gansu. The erupting tooth still preserve a perfect micro crenulation, I just love it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 (edited) I shown this before but alway fascinates to think that the U.K. had lions , hyenas and bears oh my. Part of an old museum collection I think going by the markings on the cave hyena specimens. All the fossil found in Tor Newton (Tornewton) cave in South DevonUK. In the collection was cave hyena teeth and foot bones and a tip of a Straight Tusted elephant . Collecting from these sites/cave is strictly prohibited today, so very rare to have in a collection out of the museums. A little picture of the old storage box the came in.

ThePhysicist Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I don't have a lot of mammal stuff, but these are my favorites: Indeterminate mammal premolar from the Aguja Fm., Brewster Co., TX (Late Cretaceous ~ 82-77 Ma), 1 mm in length - very tiny: 2 "Argumentation cannot suffice for the discovery of new work, since the subtlety of Nature is greater many times than the subtlety of argument." - Carl Sagan "I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there." - Richard Feynman Collections: Hell Creek Microsite | Hell Creek/Lance | Dinosaurs | Sharks | Squamates | Post Oak Creek | North Sulphur River | Lee Creek | Aguja | Permian | Devonian | Triassic | Harding Sandstone Instagram: @thephysicist_tff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoda Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I don’t collect much mammal material. But my favourite modern animals are elephants. I have been on many safaris in South Africa and can spend hours watching elephants. So I guess I should have some mammoth material.

Oh yeah, that's a great piece. It's nice when you can find a specimen showing an unerupted tooth. I have a hyracotherium jaw section and a Pleistocene kangaroo like that. I will have to get photos of those for the Forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatasaurus93 Posted September 10, 2022 Share Posted September 10, 2022 I posted these in the Ice Age thread, but they fit here, too. I can't choose between these two: Dinictis Maxilla from the White River Badlands, SD: Machairodus Saber from Gansu Province, China Sabercats have always been some of my favorite extinct creatures. My dream sabercat fossil would be a Smilodon skull from La Brea, but I know that's pretty much impossible to obtain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a smilodon skull is a bit a huge dream and veeeery expensive ahaha.
