Nasty River Cockroach


PrehistoricFlorida

Recommended Posts

Bought a collection yesterday that contained this awesome sting ray mouthplate. This is best example that I've seen from the Eocene. The first ric is a beast at 3 7/8", then the little babies at 3 1/2" and 2 3/4". Also in the collection were some VERY RARE partial Florida/Georgia Archaeocete whale teeth and a vertebra. ENJOY!

Nice teeth, but you got me all excited to see a fossil cockroach!

All of it is super sweet!

In formal logic, a contradiction is the signal of defeat: but in the evolution of real knowledge, it marks the first step in progress toward victory.
