Holy cow, these teeth are unbelievable! The juvenile tooth (in your avatar) is hypnotizing.

Thanks for sharing,

Where as the color of Marcel's Peruvian teeth are the master piece of a true artist the color scheme on these firezone megs have the method of a toddler's finger painting! Also notice the crinkles on the back of the single meg which is also the meg with the wacky waves on the edge.

I don't have any MD fossils. I have been wanting to hunt Calvert a long time but never made it there.

Hey guys, here's some more fish material and if anyone has an idea on the ID, I'm all ears :-) I think I've seen a similar fossil from STH listed elsewhere on the forum with the same question with regards to ID and I can't find that listing or anywhere ... bmore maybe :-)

 

"Sharktooth Hill"

~15.5 Ma

Middle Miocene

Roundmountain Silt

Bakersfield, Kern County

CA

 

Roundmountain Silt ages:

~15.5-16.3 Ma - Roundmountain Silt strontium-isotope ages (Olson, 1988)

~14.0-15.5 Ma - Roundmountain Silt Luisian benthic foraminiferal fauna (Barron and Isaacs, 2001; Prothero, 2001)

~15.0-16.0 Ma - Roundmountain Silt Denticulopsis lauta A zone diatoms (Barron, 1981; Barron, in Bartow and McDougall, 1984)

~14.5-16.1 Ma - magnetic stratigraphy for the Roundmountain Silt (Prothero, Sanchez, and Denke, 2008)

~15.2-16.0 Ma - magnetic stratigraphy for the middle section of the Roundmountain Silt that includes the bonebed (Prothero, Sanchez, and Denke, 2008)

~15.5 Ma - magnetic stratigraphy for the bonebed itself (Prothero, Sanchez, and Denke, 2008)

~14.5-16.1 Ma - best correlation for the Roundmountain Silt (Prothero, Sanchez, and Denke, 2008)

Earbones ... these took awhile to prep and you have to be so darn careful as well (still working on the third one) ..

cf. Tiphyocetus temblorensis
