Hawaiian Paleo Studies
Hawaiian Paleo Studies
This group is not limited to invertebrates—we welcome other fossils as well; birds, insects, mammals, etc.
Hawaii had a limited Miocene—most fossils observed are
From the recent Pleistocene and most species that survived the glaciated periods flourished until today. In this group I will present my findings on
Hawaii Pleistocene and Holocene invertebrates (phylum Mollusca). My current studies catalogs the Mollusca found along rocky shores through in-land areas where the land was once covered by ocean. Some sites yields rocky shoreline
Species which is well represented—distribution from substrata up-lifts
Or distribution from past tidal wave activity could be the reason. Some reef dwelling species flourished in the Pleistocene and are still present today. Feel free to contribute to the group and ask questions on Hawaiian molluscan fossils. All we ask is all submissions/contributions are limited to
Hawaiian materials/observations. Please study with us…and learn with us…

Definitely cow parts. Mostly toe and ankle bones. See a horn core and a tibia end. Can see cut marks on the tibia. Also a possible pig toe there to top row above the jaw.
-
Actually what I thought was a pig cannon bone is probably from a horse.
-
@james-preston do you think they kill horses in the butcher spot ? cows and pigs I can understand, but horses.. well I dont know, I heard that they are beeing killed for dog food but dont know its in my coutry so often
-
Unless that bone is split it is from an odd toed animal which is a horse. Some places do butcher horses.

I’ve seen another one very similar to this online and underneath it had a comment saying it was man made and to send it to a museum to get authenticated

@jwalit-nayak This is a modern shell (not fossil) but the shiny is mother-of-pearl and the holes are gastropod (snail) feeding marks. Carnivorous snails use an aparatus in their mouth called a radula which drills through the shell and they suck up the insides.
-
Wow! Thank you, @mackenzie-smith, for the information. It’s incredible to know the way snails eat 🐚

Hawaiian Paleo Studies from the myFOSSIL app 3 years ago3 years ago3 years agoArrowhead of what sort?
-
@starra-pennington To me that looks like a gar (fish) scale. Just so you know, the app is designed for fossils (non-archaeological remains). That isn’t to say there isn’t someone who knows how to ID points but it is geared toward paleo and not archae. It does look like a gar scale though.
-
thank you
-
resemblance of an ankylosaur
-
tooth?
-
modern gar scale. In reading about use in Indian arrowheads, there is little evidence to support there use as such as the stem is of the wrong shape without modification. Although an interesting specimen, it is not a fossil.

This is Otodus obliquus from Morocco. It is the distant ancestor of Otodus megalodon but is 40 million years older. Contrary to the card, the Great White is only very distantly related to megalodon. Their common ancestor lived probably about 100 million years ago or so.
-
You are wrong
-
@james-duffy he is not wrong. That is not an Otodus Megaladon tooth. I have an Otodus obliqqus tooth very similar to this one. Besides this, the shape and surface features of this tooth do not resemble that of Otodus Megaladon.

You are wrong
