Possible Crocodile and Whale


Barasingha

Recommended Posts

Found in a Miocene area.  I am thinking the four on the left are all crocodile.  I was thinking the one on the right is either a shark-toothed whale or dolphin,, but leaning to shark-toothed whale.  Smaller ones are 13/16", 11/16", 13/16, & 13/16.  Last tooth is 1 5/16.  Thoughts?

The four appear more gatorish than croc-like.  The fifth is definitely an odontocete tooth.

"A Miocene area?"  This can be quite mis-leading.  You can be geographically a bit more specific and still be safe from claim jumpers.
