Boesse Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Beautiful crabs! Also, I like your dolphin vert. Got any other vertebrate fossils? The Pysht is a pretty important unit for early pinnipeds and odontocetes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pysht is a pretty important unit for early pinnipeds and odontocetes. I have found a number of vertabrae, one possibly complete whale or dolphin (which a huge slide covered temporarily, some rib pieces, and the front half of a dolphin skull Otolithes forward with part of the snout worn off still in a concretion. still looking for who may have the back half lol Bill?
