Guest N.AL.hunter Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Well isn't that interesting... it wasn't even a jaw! Sure would have fooled me. Either way, I really like the way the "teeth" curve on the specimens. Will be looking for one of my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
