Going To Flag Ponds Today


Metopocetus

It is generally picked clean but some nice land mammal material comes from that beach (keeping an eye out for bird). I'll be walking my white German Shepherd down there so if you see me say hello. I will report back if anything is worth mentioning.

Nothing spectacular but not a bad day....post-680-1218381969_thumb.jpg

You sure had a pretty day for it! I can't recall ever having found a tooth with a hole through it, much less an angular hole. Any idea how that happened?

It looks like something bored into it (the smaller circular hole) and weakened the structure of the tooth. Washing around in the waves for who knows how long might be the reason for the broken holes.

Ah! The round holes I recognize; they're from a boring clam. Really hollowed that one out!
