grokfish Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Looks like you have a fun jigsaw puzzle to put together!!! Any more evidence of scavenging by sharks? Edited July 7, 2012 by grokfish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KansasFossilHunter Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) Yea, an 83 million year old puzzle that has sat out in the weather for 10 years, rolled down a hill and, been trampled by cows!! No new shark evidence, except that part of the jaw was several feet away from the rest of the skull ( but that is inconclusive ) Edited July 7, 2012 by NiobraraFossilHunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
