Harry Pristis Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 NOT a crocodilian jaw. Definitely a small carnivore. 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...

What people do not understand is that when I can easily identify a fossil, I have seen it before a 100 times, In Harry's case, make that 1000s. There is only one way, experience and time. Nice closeup of the River Otter mandible , Harry. I have added it to my reference library.

Jack Oh I never doubted the Harry's experience, I just wanted to know what makes this a carnivore vs Herbivore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpc Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 the thinness of the mandible suggests carnivore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
