hemipristis Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 hi All, Saw this for sale from China. No additional info. Based upon other items that the buy has for sale, I'd say Miocene or Pleistocene. It's clearly mammal. Looks camel-y to me, but I'm no mammal expert. Any thoughts? thanks! 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

Miocene_Mason Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I saw this too and wondered. It will be interesting to see what it turns out to be! “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macrophyseter Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Just a guess, but it looks sort of like a bison jaw... If you're a fossil nut from Palos Verdes, San Pedro, Redondo Beach, or Torrance, feel free to shoot me a PM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laditz Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 This seems to be a lower Bison Jaw with the M1, M2 and wider M3 molar on the right present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 As long as we're making guesses, I think it's a mandible from a Sumatran gazelle, Capricornis sumatraensis qinlingensis Hu & Qi, 1978. 1 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...
abyssunder Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 What could I say for sure is that the seller is from China and the specimen in question looks like this partial jaw from the same source. I don't think it's bison.
