NSW "micro mammal" ID guide

[izak_]

Hello!

This is an attempt at helping ID a few small marsupials, rodents, bats and reptiles from Kempsey in central NSW Australia.

Note: Some of these animals may not be found in the area anymore as the deposits they were found in are from 2 mya - 15 thousand years.

If you would like any more info on the site or the fossils feel free to ask.

I will be posting them in rounds of whatever I feel like  

And also sorry about the bad pictures. Please let me know if you would like me to re-take them.

 

1. Ghost Bat (Macroderma gigas) Extinct where these fossils were found (Right lower jaw and upper canine)

 

2. Other micro bats ( Partial skull, lower jaw w/ 2nd and 3rd lower molars, one isolated molar in jaw) 

 

 

 

 

3. Sugar Gliders (Petaurus breviceps) right and left maxilla (non associated)
