Bone Daddy Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Another Bone Valley Florida find, Peace River, Polk county, Hawthorn group. This large weirdly-shaped bone has a strange (to me) marking/pattern on it. Is this a big gator bone maybe? (it's the big "crab claw" shaped bone on the upper right). Second photo shows the opposite side with my hand for scale. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Pristis Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 It's an articular, the bone at the rear of the 'gator mandible. There are major portions of the surangular and angular attached . . . those two are the articulating bones in the ramus. 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...
