Meganeura Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 This is such an incredible find Marie! Who’s soul do I need to sell or how many people do I need to sacrifice to find something like this myself? Fossils? I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the find may pop up - or may not. Its all about the route, not the goal. Have fun! Franz Bernhard 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping your mind blowing find is just around the corner. If you live near and frequent the peace river you are certainly in a great spot for it.

Cheers, Marie Dunno if I'd say near but close enough that I've made it a habit of going every weekend at least once! Really just need to expand where I look. And get a snarge roof rack and kayak, but for that I need space for a kayak which I do not currently have. So to the creeks it is for the summer! Fossils? I dig it.

Boesse Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Fantastic finds! Diagnostic baleen whale material is not super common in Florida - at least, not from land sites like this where we know the stratigraphic origin. I highly encourage you to contact the FLMNH. The periotic is of interest as well. Both are balaenopterid whales, and while I'm not sure about the identification of your skull - the isolated periotic appears to represent "Balaenoptera" borealina. The skull will almost certainly have a periotic in place if the bulla is present. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
