JBMugu Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I found this jaw section (?) while digging in Bakersfield. Anyone have any ideas about its origin? I am thinking fish but what do I know, I have never found a jaw before. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indominus rex Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 To me it goes indeed look like a fish jaw but I'm no expert and I can't tell you which species it belongs to. Regards, indominus rex 1 Life started in the ocean. And so did my interest in fossils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ynot Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Agree with fish jaw. Nice find. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough."

LordTrilobite Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 I agree, fish premaxilla seems about right. Olof Moleman AKA Lord Trilobite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
