shark57 18 Posted December 14, 2013 Here are some pics of a project I have been working on. These bones come from a Calvert formation (lower to mid Miocene) dolphin found on August 2. There are two pics of the same block from different angles. The second pic was done after a little more work and I had uncovered another vertebra. In this block there are at least six vertebrae (including the atlas), a humerus, and a rib (the end is just visible above the "2" on the ruler). More to come as collection and preparation continues.

Foshunter 154 Posted December 14, 2013 Really nice prep, very interesting. If you are married, you are in so much trouble for ruining that towel--LOL----Tom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great project, what tool(s) are being used? A pick, hammer and screwdrivers to remove the blocks. Dental tools and a toothbrush to expose the bones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarcoSr 3,144 Posted December 14, 2013 Gary You definitely have found an awesome specimen!!!!!! When you find the atlas vertebra, and a humerus in addition to a skull and jaw you should be able to really nail the identification of the specimen.
