Thanks Adam the Deninger’s bear was interesting find. I think it is an primitive ancestor of the brown bear .

10. This is one of my favourites a Desmostylus tooth , Tembolar formation.

Montorey County,

Lake San Antonio, California .

 

Until I receive this tooth I had never heard of a Desmostylus so in the unlikely event of anybody else on this forum also does not recognising the name of this creature. I have posted a picture I found online.

So beautiful...if you're into bucktooth hippos!

[Nimravis]

Nice stuff @Bobby Rico

[Bobby Rico]

Thank you @Nimravis and @caldigger I was never into bucktooth hippos before, so maybe you are to blame for my new obsession with them (thank you ). Great photo Doren did you take it.

Why yes, that is the lagoon in my backyard. I have been getting into the hobby of cloning as of late. 

The varieties of creatures I have living with me now are amazing. But with so many of these large animals (I only seem to clone the big ones), I am running out of room in my apartment.

11. Partial Oreadont Skull.

South Dakota. USA

12. This is interesting becuase of the old Victorian  label and Piddocks holes .

Mammal bone is labelled Mastodon but more likely a Whale.

Norwich crag UK

 

As we all know that Piddocks are anything but boring

Thanks for updating this, Bobby! 

Nice collection you have and growing nicely it would seem. 

I love the Desmostylus teeth, very nice.
