3 more jaw pieces

[ilzho]

Here are 3 more jaw pieces. More pictures attached of each one.

Any help is appreciate.

 

Maybe small horse?

 

Porpoise?

 

Alligator type??

Coast of NC.

Second one looks right for a porpoise. But is it a fossil ?

Can not help with the others.

Hi.

Thanks fro the info.

Yes the second one (porpoise) is a fossil.

I found that when I would go to Aurora Phosphate mine around 35 years ago.

Cool, nice find!

The one with the large conical tooth looks a lot like a mosasaur to me.

Maybe the "Alligator type?? " is a cetacean tooth in partial jaw, similar to a kentriodontid dolphin.

Just for Your future posts, it helps to make more accurate ID"s if We have more accurate information about the location.

IE. Aurora NC vs. NC coast.

PS Are the other 2 from the same location? (If so then 3 can not be a mosasaur.)

Hi:

The porpoise jaw is the only one in this group from Aurora.

 

The jaw section with incomplete teeth is from Onslow Beach, North Carolina.

 

The mosasaur tooth/jaw was found in Fussell Quarry in Rose Hill, North Carolina.

 

Thanks as always.
