Boesse Posted July 15, 2011 Share Posted July 15, 2011 Nandomas - I think that's the right call. I don't think it's a phocid either, hence my hesitation in identifying it. It just looks too foreign to me. That being said, I think you'll find out it is some sort of land mammal. Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Thanks Roz Bobby the pictures I posted here at the beginning didn't show all details people at Smithsonian saw: Perissodactyla premaxillae is preliminary guess, but the photos were forwarded to other scientists. Because the deposits at Lee Creek Mine are marine, land mammals are rare there. Thanks again for you contribution and consideration.

Nandomas Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Now that's pretty sure it is land mammal premaxilla, I did some search around with mako-mama help, and she found out the fossil could be peccary or some kind of pig lower premaxilla Artiodactyla, instead of Perissodactyla.
