3 years ago3 years ago@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!

3 years ago3 years agoHi 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

3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months agoHi there @stijn-fruyt cool finds! For ID purposes, specimen need to be uploaded individually with a scale for reference. If you could do that these can be IDed by our shark experts @vperez and @bill-heim!

3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months agoDear Mr. Perez,
Thank you for the response!! I realized I was not being very clear. I meant to say the bumps on the side of the bone, just below the cusplets. Here is a picture:

3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months agoDear myFossil members,
I recently found a wonderful Otodus/Carcharocles Chubutensis at Calvert Cliffs State Park. I uploaded it to this website here: https://www.myfossil.org/dwc-specimen/85631/
I also posted it to the Fossil Forum, where a number of people remarked about the “ears” on the side of the root of the tooth. I am now super curious…[Read more]

3 years, 7 months ago3 years, 7 months ago<span class=”atwho-inserted” contenteditable=”false” data-atwho-at-query=”@victor”>@vperez</span> thank you for your review. I doubt this last image would change your mind, but I thought I’d attach anyway. I do understand the porosity you mentioned. Do these image change your eval? Just want to make certain before we move on from this find.

3 years, 8 months ago3 years, 8 months ago@vperez , do you have any idea what animal this vertebrae belonged to? It has a very different and slightly elongated shape as compared to cetacean vertebrae that I’ve seen. The two faces of the specimen are also off-center from eachother. Thanks in advance!

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?

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.
