megateeth Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I had off work today and promised myself (and my wife) that I would get some things done around the house. Then I got up and it seemed like too nice a day to waste so I decided to go diving. Plus I could always work around the house in the afternoon. On my second dive I pulled out what felt like a really long rib bone. I was shocked when it turned out to be a piece of a jaw bone. I wish the tip were there but it is still pretty cool. It is very solid. I was sure it would break since the only bag I had large enough was the bag that I drag around with me to put ribs and verts in, but it held up really well. I also did really well with the Megs. A lot of sharp tips on the smaller ones. The largest was 5" Now, I need to get some work done right after my nap.

PaleoRon Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Nice haul, as usual. The mystery item is a nice section of lower jaw from a dolphin/porpoise. That's a very nice find. I normally only find fragments and most are badly worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Menser Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 That is so cool...and the teeth aren't bad either! Be true to the reality you create. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Nice find! I'm guessing Pomotodelphis, perhaps P. bobengi. As 'PaleoRon' suggests, yours is an unusually large portion of such a mandible. Edited.
