Ash Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Well guys and gals, it's been awhile since i did an update but here it is. I am aware it's mostly jaws, but for some reason theyre the most complete bones i tend to find. Apologies for the pics being blurry, lighting wasnt great.. The rule in all photos is 6" First up we'll start with the my humble wombat collection. Pictured is a loose tooth from a Vombatus sp., a partial jaw (or is it upper?) from a Phascalonus gigas and a partial humerus from a P. gigas. The humerus is one of the largest a museum fellow has seen. Then on to my only mammalian carnivore, the Tasmania Tiger or Thylacine: Thylacinus Cynocephalus. Now to what Australia is known for! Big reptiles! First up, my Croc jaws. I believe these all to be Pallimnarchus pollens. I'll update this with some pics of scutes, verts and some teeth later. And @Andy, here you go. The giant lizard, Megalania prisca (Varanus priscus). And to finish up, the largest pieces of my collection, the largest marsupial known, Diprotodon optatum: Ok ok, there is a Zygomaturus trilobus in there (2 to the left of the ruler in first pic) and an Euowenia robusta (directly left in first pic). The bone is a Diprotodon radius, beside that is a molar and a partial incisor. To the right of that radius on top (all first pic) is a juvenile D. optatum. Thanks for your time, Cheers, Troy.
