ted coulianos Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Apparently what I thought was a bat jaw from a Pleistocene cave deposit turned out (as jpc pointed out) to be the mandible of a fossil shrew. This prompted me to revisit another specimen that I think might be closer my original i.d. I think it matches closely to other specimens found at the same locality http://www.indiana9fossils.com/vertebrates/Bats.htm This particular specimen is missing a few teeth unfortunately, unlike the shrew jaw which was more complete; had to perform a little micropaleo repair on it, too, since it was in 3 pieces. I know I've got another vial of bones & teeth somewhere, but since I've moved I haven't got a clue which box they're in. Again, my thanks to forum member jpc for help with the original i.d. Hope you think this is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
