SawTooth Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I found these bones (and tooth) in very close proximity today, in a creek where I have hardly ever found dolphin fossils, leading me to believe they are associated. Any idea what species this is? Found in the Cypress Head formation, Middleburg, Fl. @Shellseeker? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SawTooth Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 I was looking through my collection for a tooth that I had found a while back that I never got a positive ID on, I was able to find it and I believe it is the same species, I'll post a picture tomorrow to see what others think. (The lighting is not allowing for very good pictures at the moment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shellseeker Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 I think the 2nd tooth you posted from "a while back" is Schizodelphis_caseii. I doubt that the 1st tooth you posted from the associated fossils is also Schizodelphis_caseii. I have a few instances of finding this tooth, but have not Identified it.. The Jaw and Verts seem consistent with the size of the tooth, likely a small 2-3 meter river dolphin. 1 The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
