Bowfin Jaw Section?

Recommended Posts

After looking through some of the material I brought back from this past summer's trip to Wyoming's Lance fm. I realized I had an odd little piece which I recognized as a section of jaw from something. After some digging I believe it's from some variety of amiid fish.

I'm not familiar with the formation, but it certainly looks like you've found a jaw bone, which perhaps is the amiid you mention.

Although I don't have expertise to ID, I must say I'm quite envious of your find. :wub:

Thanks! I rediscovered it when organizing some of my the turtle shell and croc scutes I found after the summer's trip.
