Bone guy Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hey guys. Ive been trying to ID these jaws but to no avail. Is it possible you can help me out? They were collected from Withlacoochee river in west Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peat Burns Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I'm thinking fish jaws. Not sure of species. Let's see what others say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXV24 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Hi, Some of the jaws, those with the larger more 'oval' shaped sockets, are Bowfin (Amia or a related genus within the Amiidae). As for the jaws with the smaller circular tooth sockets I'm less sure, but they may be Gar (Lepisosteus or Atractosteus) from what I can see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I don't recognize these fish from your images, but I may be able to help you eliminate some species. http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bone guy Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 I'm doubting any of these are gar jaws, because the teeth sockets don't seem spaced out enough. Maybe barracuda? I'm no genius on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
