Peace River - Fish jaw and claw core ids needed


Meganeura

Recommended Posts

Been a while since I’ve posted an ID - definitely taking that as a good thing and a sign of me learning. 
Today I found what I’m 99% sure is a fish jaw, though getting an id would be awesome, and then what I think is a claw core or distal phalanx of some kind.

 

1) Fish Jaw - 12.5mm in size

2) Claw core? - 25mm in length:

Any help is appreciated as always!

Fossils? I dig it. :meg:

It is part of a crab claw. The mineralized bumps on the claw have dissolved, leaving the holes that look like tooth sockets.

That's awesome, I've never found one of those before in the Peace. Fossil crab claw. Too bad it's not the whole thing!
