Dave pom Allen Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) this was a big surprise for a small jaw i found this small possible fish jaw while cleaning up some of my finds from my last months trip to the south island nz it came from the Tarapuhi Grit at Mikonui stream, kaikoura and is from the late cretaceous.
