eddie Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 First pic shows a huge fish tail (not sure what species) and a porpoise/whale ear bone (tympanic bulla). The baby anterior meg tooth is one of my favorites. The big teeth get all the glory, but I'm not sure these baby teeth aren't more rare than the big ones. This one is only about 1.5", and I've not seen another one like it.. The Hemipristis is 1 15/16" and in really nice condition for a big hemi. The skinny tooth is I oxyrinchus.

Auspex Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 All beautiful, but the Hemi is one of the prettiest I've ever seen! Congrats!!!

Boesse Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I like shark teeth and everything... but to heck with them! I like the tympanic bulla. If you take another picture, but of the side of it facing the coin in the photo, I can identify it for you to a genus. Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get some more pics tomorrow morning, getting to be past my bed time now. Thanks! Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you tell which genus? Let me know if you need more pics. Thanks for your help! Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boesse Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 That tympanic bulla belongs to the extinct dwarf right whale, Balaenula. It is closely related to the extant Right Whale, Eubalaena. Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
