The Fossil Cache Of A Singapore Collector

[LiamL]

Incredible collection of beautiful pieces. Glad you have some from Whitby!

[Bone guy]

This collection is incredible. I must say you have an excellent taste. And coincidentally my goal is to have a collection that looks a lot like yours

Basilosaur snout
Basilosauridae indet. sp.
40.4 - 33.9 mya | late Eocene
Boujdour, Western Sahara

Note: Data is poor for this specimen, especially in terms of locality. If you have more information on the ancient whales of Boujdour, please let me know, thanks

[Troodon]

I do like it, nice pickup.  You never see snouts and with orginal teeth

Nice acquisition.

[Bone guy]

For a second I thought that was a mosasaur snout (must of been the same thing early scientists thought). 

 

This is one one heck of an acquisition. Teeth look great, and the whole thing is articulated well enough you can tell what you're looking at. 10/10! 

[Heavy_D]

Nice. 

[HamptonsDoc]

Very cool!

You're now one of the few TFF members that can say: "hmmm where did I put my saber-toothed cat canine?" 

 

But seriously; most people have never even had a chance to hold one of those, let alone own one. Congratulations on a stunning acquisition.

The litter box must have been huge!!  Wow.  Congratulations.  That is beautiful.  I've never seen one before. 

[HamptonsDoc]

Beautiful, I’m jealous!!

[Dracorex_hogwartsia]

Absolutely beautiful tooth! It looks very similar to me to a large theropod tooth. Maybe a Carcharodontosaurus tooth, with a bit more curvature to it.

Thanks for the kind comments guys.

Yeah was a painful journey procuring this. But I know I simply had to get one.

Thanks Bone guy! I am sure in time, these guys will become more common.

I know right? When I held it, I thought: this is what holding a large Chinese theropod tooth feels like.

"cat canine" sounds funny... Why don't we call these teeth 'felines'? I don't know if anything beats a saber-tooth cat's 'canine'!

What if I had a dog's tooth fossil? It would be a canine canine!

 

As it turns out, Canine can be a person's name! Can anything beat Canine's canine canine?

[bcfossilcollector]

Congratulations on your outstanding acquisitions! Describing the saber canine as simply magnificent would be an understatement. As for the basilosaur snout WOW!

[Tidgy's Dad]

Terrific piece. 

But I really love that Basilosaurus.

A 'canine feline' would be no worse than a 'feline canine'!

Never heard the name 'Canine'..
