Reebs Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Hi there! Found this tiny piece of jawbone at a land site in Venice, FL. It looks like it has at least one whole tooth left in it. The jaw is 1.5” long and the tooth itself is about .5” wide. I’m not sure of the formation or period unfortunately. I did find meg teeth next to it so leads me to believe I’m possibly digging in Miocene- Pliocene? Is this a correct assumption, or not always? Thank you for any ideas and/or info. I LOVE this site! A world wide community of folks who inspire passion and continuous learning. How incredible! Marie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a juvenile or just a small individual. Also it's just a small section of jaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
