RE: Fossilized Shark Tooth and Whale Skull?! - Purisima Formation - Capitola, California

Hey, you're back! Well, maybe you never really left and I haven't been paying attention?

It's crazy that you can actually identify that skill part by name. Is that a hint of yours?

Sort:  

It wasn't an spontaneous assessment. I grabbed it on a hunch. Looking at photos of other whale skulls helped me identify the other bones peeking out from the matrix as other parts of a skull. The condyles were the give away though. ;) Despite millions of years of evolution they all pretty much look the same!
