ynot Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) Hey-hi Everybody!! My humble entry into the vertebrae fossil of the month is a pathologic whale tooth. Ceatation tooth with pathology (unknown species). Slow curve, Ernst Quarries Round Mountain Silt (Sharktooth Hill). Middle Miocene, 15.5 million Bakersfield, Kern county, California. Found on April 17, 2016. Tooth is 2.25 inches long. Thanks for Your consideration! Tony PS Edited to reflect recently received information.

digit Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Sweet cetacean tooth, Tony! Looks like the Siren Song continues to call you back to Shark Tooth Hill (with excellent results). Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. -Ken Wow Tony, that is a sweet tooth! Love the display : ) Thanks Guys!! An update from Boesse, "This tooth is actually not pathologic, quite a lot of these teeth are collected from Shark Tooth Hill and have that really inflated root. The identity of these teeth are not yet known - but they are distinctive and large, and are perhaps one of the exceptions to my caveat on identifying isolated odontocete teeth. My suspicion is that these belong to a giant kentriodontid dolphin similar to Hadrodelphis calvertensis from Maryland that as of yet is only known from unpublished earbones."

masonboro37 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) I would like to enter a crab carapace in the inverts. The carapace was found on April, 21 2016. This was a special fossil hunting excursion and I feel as thought the fact close friends were right there when I found to be priceless! It continues to amaze me how something so delicate can manage to be on this beautiful pedestal of formation, compaction from millions of years and still have such oranateness. I can just look at this carapace and picture how this species tooted along the shallow lagoon millions of years ago. I wonder about what the coloration on its carapace was and what brought about it's demise. That being said, even finding the carapace is indeed fantastic to me and my son loved seeing it too. All I needed to do was clean it with water a a fine toothbrush.

Libby Libby, I think your crab ( it was the same species as mine I am pretty sure) is Eocarpilius carolinensis. E. blowi has a rounder carapace. but without physically comparing yours to mine I am not 100% sure.

masonboro37 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 (edited) Don, The carapace looks so similar to the blowi's in the book and online. However, I do have an Eocarpilius c which I am now comparing it to. I am finding more similarity to the Eocarpilius blowi though. This carapace is rounder, does not have the characteristcs of the other. Thanks so much for your insight and your carapace find that day was epic! Awesome you where there! Maybe Plax will chime in to finalize. Edited May 1, 2016 by masonboro37 Process of identification "mistakes create wisdom". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
