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...

Its not a personal find guys or my prepwork.... Its an aquisition....My only input is I made the display frame and determined the shape of the shale lol....

But it is a real stonker ! :)

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.

Definitely a jaw dropping experience seeing the variety of specimens in this topic

If they get dropped I hope they land on something soft!! :P

There are a lot of nice ones posted here!! :wub::wub::envy:

This is the only "jaw" that I have found. It is an Alomodus Allodesmus sp, mandible from Sharktooth hill.

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.
