ynot Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Second one looks right for a porpoise. But is it a fossil ? Can not help with the others. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilzho Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hi. Thanks fro the info. Yes the second one (porpoise) is a fossil. I found that when I would go to Aurora Phosphate mine around 35 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 The one with the large conical tooth looks a lot like a mosasaur to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abyssunder Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Maybe the "Alligator type?? " is a cetacean tooth in partial jaw, similar to a kentriodontid dolphin. 1 " We are not separate and independent entities, but like links in a chain, and we could not by any means be what we are without those who went before us and showed us the way.

Just for Your future posts, it helps to make more accurate ID"s if We have more accurate information about the location. IE. Aurora NC vs. NC coast. Tony PS Are the other 2 from the same location? (If so then 3 can not be a mosasaur.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilzho Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 Hi: The porpoise jaw is the only one in this group from Aurora. The jaw section with incomplete teeth is from Onslow Beach, North Carolina. The mosasaur tooth/jaw was found in Fussell Quarry in Rose Hill, North Carolina. Thanks as always.
