JohnJ Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Cheers Guys....Thanks... Its a very interesting specimen being of fantastic preservation where its entire stomach contents have been preserved.... As well as being surrounded by ammolite type ammonite preservation... you could say its an ammolite Ichthyosaur from a rare horizon...The carcass rolled during decay and put a 'spiral' shape in the verts making quite a display specimen... 006 (800x600).jpg 002 (800x600) (2).jpg 003 (800x600) (2).jpg 004 (1) (800x600).jpg Stomach contents showing recognisable types of fossil squid hooks.... 008 (800x600) (2).jpg Heres another jaw.... post-1630-1248806099 (800x600).jpg Juvenile Rhyzodont...

Harry Pristis Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Those are wonderful examples above.. Here are 2 jaw photos .....but without any knowledge as to what they are,.. or where they are from...or how old they might be. Both are bovid, cow or bison mandibles. 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) This is the only "jaw" that I have found. It is an Alomodus Allodesmus sp, mandible from Sharktooth hill.

digit Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 That's pretty darn cool, Tony! Do you mean Allodesmus sp. because I'm not finding anything searching "Alomodus"? I've heard of pinniped teeth coming from Shark Tooth Hill but I don't think I've seen a nice jaw section yet. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
