WOW, looks deadly! Is that just the beak or part of the skull as well? What is that large hole?

It is the beak (premaxillary) and part of the  nasal bones. The large hole are the nares. See the upper front on the vulture skull below (from the skullsite.com website) for a comparison.

That's the left "nostril". The right side is missing, as is the back portion of the skull. I think it may be of the American Black Vulture.

If I remember correctly it's around 6 cm long. I don't take photos with scale, sorry.

It's OK to refer to the Early/Lower Carb as Mississippian wherever in the world you are, as it's the official ICS name on the world chart. (Likewise the Pennsylvanian)

That is an interesting bivalve. Seems there is no end to the new and wonderful gems people are finding and showing here.

Maybe @will stevenson has something for the Paleocene. No pressure, Will.  If not, it's wide open.

Okay. I'll try to get something photographed by tomorrow night.  I have a lot of Paleocene fossils mostly shark teeth but also some crocodile stuff and a few invertebrates.  My brother takes great photos but he's a busy dude.
