Bobby Rico Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 10. This is one of my favourites a Desmostylus tooth , Tembolar formation. Montorey County, Lake San Antonio, California . Until I receive this tooth I had never heard of a Desmostylus so in the unlikely event of anybody else on this forum also does not recognising the name of this creature. I have posted a picture I found online. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Thank you @Nimravis and @caldigger I was never into bucktooth hippos before, so maybe you are to blame for my new obsession with them (thank you ). Great photo Doren did you take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Why yes, that is the lagoon in my backyard. I have been getting into the hobby of cloning as of late. The varieties of creatures I have living with me now are amazing. But with so many of these large animals (I only seem to clone the big ones), I am running out of room in my apartment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Rico Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 12. This is interesting becuase of the old Victorian label and Piddocks holes . Mammal bone is labelled Mastodon but more likely a Whale. Norwich crag UK As we all know that Piddocks are anything but boring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
