Jurassicz1 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I found these for sale. Some Dolphin teeth from Caldera, Chile, Miocene. Are they real? And if so are they from the Bahia Inglesa Formation? Adriano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siteseer Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 Yeah, they look real. They seem to be in the range of colors you would see from Caldera but the only person who could confirm the formation is the person who collected them. You can find teeth of those forms from the early-late Miocene and more recent. We're not supposed to talk prices here so I'll just say I wouldn't pay a lot for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are pretty cheap for fossils from caldera. I might get them not sure though but thanks for the answer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if I do get them should I label them as Dolphin teeth Atacama Desert, Chile Bahia Inglesa Formation Miocene ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteseer Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Yeah, you could just call them that. Various small whales have teeth like those. They can't be identified to genus. They might belong to a whale not related to modern dolphins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
