@monica-murray this is a skullcap, I *think* from a manatee but I will see if I can find an expert to confirm.
@mason-hintermeister the dimensions of this are 3” x 2” As excited as I am to think it’s a manatee skull, just seems too small for such a big animal, but I do find a lot of what I think are manatee rib bones in the same location.
@monica-murray I just heard back from an expert, it is most likely from the small but apparently common Crenatosiren olseni but could also bears some resemblance to Metaxytherium albifontanum. Either way, it is an Oligocene dugong!
Awesome! Thank you so much for all your knowledge and help!
