Gatorman Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I wanna see the tooth sockets, PLease.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsessed1 Posted September 10, 2008 Author Share Posted September 10, 2008 I have it all packed up for the trip to the museum tomorrow..but I will take some pics of the sockets as soon as I get home. Due to how fragile it is most are still full of sandy matrix and some were damaged when the snout came apart. But I will do my best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
non-remanié Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Wow! You mentioned your skull to me on the beach but I had no idea it was this nice! Awesome find. -steve ---Wie Wasser schleift den Stein, wir steigen und fallen--- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl O'Cles Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Nice skull, my guess would be that it is some type of Eurhinodelphis judging by the size of the beak. I haven't had much luck with dolphins, all my luck comes with reptiles for some reason. although i'm not complaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post a picture of that when you have time. I found a squamosal on Tuesday of potentially a species not known from Calvert Cliffs yet...but we aren't 100% on that.
