    One of the many Moroccan fakes. The teeth are real mosasaur mated to a faked jaw. Note the sketchy unrealistic material between the brown part of the tooth (the real part) and the jaw.  It is possible that they mated the real teeth with a real piece of some kind of jaw bone but these teeth were never in that jaw.  You didn’t say what you paid b…[Read more]

    If you do not know the answer to your ID question, I might suggest that you send the picture to The Webb School in southern CA., specifically the Alf Museum.  They are a knowledgable source for trackways. https://www.alfmuseum.org

    Hi everyone, I am cleaning up our database and ran into a name I couldn’t find but the specimen is recorded as being from the Miocene of the Calvert Cliffs  so I wonder if @vperez or @bill-heim may recognize a typo that is causing my google searches to fail… It is likely (but not necessarily) an invertebrate: Cordula idonea

    • Hey Jen! Can you send a link to the specimen in question? I don’t recognize the name either, but may be able to recognize the specimen if I saw it. When I search myFOSSIL for Cordula no results come up.

    • Hi Jennifer- could it be Bicorbula idonea?

    • @vperez – this is a specimen in the UMMP database, not myFOSSIL – should have specified, sorry. @cindy-lockner – I think you got it! Someone must have dropped the bi- prefix. Thanks for your insight!! Sometimes the typos are just enough that googling simply doesn’t provide any results!

    • Thanks for catching that. I was starting to go through my invertebrate references. Fortunately, I took the time to mask up and decontaminate with plenty of sanitizer afterwards.

    Hi Lab group–I am in another meeting tomorrow that conflicts with our lab time. I will therefore not be able to hold class on Monday, 19 October, so it is cancelled for this week. All the best, Bruce
