Plantguy Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Well I was looking at Marcos cool post about coprolites and was scrounging thru some of my Manatee Cnty boxed material and didnt find any coprolites so here's several potential whale/dolphin type frags that I'm not entirely sure about and was wondering if any of you all can confirm. I'm thinking A is a root of a maybe a dolphin tooth, B is a bulla of some sort , C is a fragment of some type of fish jaw--seems like I've seen this somewhere before? D and E appear to be anterior processes/ of dolphin periotics. I added a closeup of the end view of A and a closeup of C. I also found this little guy which is fairly well preserved and has some very distinct symmetry...seems to be a tilly of some sort. Thanks for any help. Regards, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Could D and E be manatee? Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Nice finds, Chris, as always! Not much help from my side, more a guess. I'm Wondering if the bulla (specimen B) can't be of a Kogiidae. The tilly bone has a really nice bilateral symmetry. It looks like the ones from this picture: " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.
