MANATEE (Dugong) FOSSILS

Ancestor to the manatee, one of the first fossil animals in Florida, dating back to the Pleistocene era, 10,000 to 1.1 million years ago.  Dugongs had tails like dolphins, modern manatee are rounded.  These fossils were found in the Peace and Santa Fe Rivers in Florida.

MANATEE TEETH 

are similar to human molars, used only for eating vegetation.  Called "spit teeth", as they wear down and are shed and replaced by new ones.  They average 5/8" across, found in Florida in the Santa Fe River.

FOSSIL LEPTOPIUS DUPONTI
WEEVIL COCOONS


Measure: 2-1/4” long x 1-1/4” wide x 1” tall.

Also called “clogs” are a common fossil on the west coast of Eyre Peninsula in South Australia up to the Western Australian border, and inland 60 kilometers.  In 1925 it was discovered these nodules contained the pupae of insects: the weevil Leptopius duponti.
 
The empty pupal cases remain below ground.  Rainwater leaches minerals from the soil and deposits them around any suitable nucleus such as these cocoons.  Eventually these mineralized pupae cases are exposed by natural erosion and found.  It is believed these are up to 100,000 years old (Pleistocene era). 

We acquired these from a farm in the bush near Adelaide, Australia.

SIBERIAN WOLF FOSSILS

The Pleistocene wolf, also referred to as the Late Pleistocene wolf (about 32,000 years old), is an extinct lineage of the gray wolf (Canis lupus). The grey wolf is one of the few large carnivores to survive the Late Pleistocene megafaunal extinctions, but similar to many other megafaunal species it experienced a global population decline towards the end of this era.

GIANT EUROPEAN CAVE HYENA FOSSIL TEETH - RARE
Comes with Information card of authenticity.




ALL ROOTS INTACT, ASSOCIATED SET OF TEETH OF LOWER JAW
SUPERB CONDITION
Species: Crocuta crocuta spelaea
Found: Cave deposit: Carpathian Mountains, Romania
Condition: No repair or restoration, perfectly preserved
Age:  Pleistocene

Fossils of the Giant European Cave Hyena are an EXTREMELY rare find.  With stringent collecting and digging laws in place now throughout Europe where the Giant Cave Hyena is found, new finds are not possible as prospecting is now illegal and strictly enforced.  Prior to collecting laws, most of these cave deposits had been virtually cleaned out of their fossils by intense digger activity.  Even if you could legally explore caves in Europe today and search for such fossils, a find such as this is a thing of the past.


The Giant European Cave Hyena was one of the most dangerous and powerful of apex predators in the last Ice Age. Recent scientific studies reveal a fascinating and brutal former world that existed in the last Ice Age of Europe where Cave Hyenas hunted and fed on other Cave Hyenas, Cave Bears, Cave Lions and even humans such as Neanterthals and Cro-Magnons.  This fossil is rarer than the Saber tooth cat/Smilodon.

It first appeared in Europe around 500,000 years ago and lived up to the close of the last European Ice Age.  Prehistoric European cave paintings have been found depicting these beasts as having spots.  Certainly feared and avoided at all costs.  The closest living relative is the African Spotted Hyena.  Fossil remains discovered in Great Britain and Alpine regions indicate these locations were home to the largest of the Giant Cave Hyenas.  It stood close to 40 inches tall at the shoulders, weight: 175-285 pounds.  Nocturnal, raising their young in the caves.  They hunted in packs of 10-25 hyenas, and scavenged on carrion as opportunists.  Cave floor deposits where these beasts lived indicated a varied diet of deer, boar, horse bison, woolly mammoth and woolly rhino.  Some deposits also produced partially eaten Neanderthal remains indicating they ate humans.

 "Sword-ray" FISH

The LARGEST bony fish that ever lived, it grew up to 18' long, distantly related to tarpon.  It had a voracious appetite, swallowed fish whole, some six feet or more in length.  There are fossils excavated showing a "fish within the fish" such as this fossil found in Kansas in 1982.  The fish it swallowed was 6 feet long!

I learned something new!  Parrot fish have not only the outer crushing jaws, but jaws at the beginning of the throat too!  Here is a fossil set of these, called "pharyngeal jaws".  Compliments of a Fossil Club member at the Aurora show

WHALE FOSSILS 

Scaldicetus species

Pliocene to Miocene Era (1.8 to 25 million years old), found in North & South Carolina

WHALE BALEEN (not fossil)

Wide strips of baleen (which is made from keratin, the same material your fingernails or horses hooves are made of) with fringes of hair hang down from the inside of the Baleen Whale's mouth like strips in a car wash.  Plankton catch on the hairs which are then licked off by the whale's tongue and swallowed. (See Alaska page 5 under BALEEN for etchings on baleen available for sale, by Alaskan Native Eskimo):

MVC-441S.jpg (37384 bytes) MVC-443S.jpg (38304 bytes) mvc-449s.jpg (63380 bytes)

5/17/03.  We are at the Carolina Forest High School in Myrtle Beach SC where teacher Art Hawley (right) inspired the National Science Honor Society students to build a life-size blue whale (an endangered species, the numbers have gone from 200,000 in 1900 to about 10,000 now) to emphasize the size of the largest animal in the world (100 feet long!).  They laid out and taped together heavy plastic with packing tape, named it Wendi the Whale, and attached a rented blower at the tail end to inflate it!  Duct tape defines the designs for the mouth and eyes on the sides.  A great way to heighten awareness of our environment!  Our hats are off to you, Art, and your students!

MVC-447S.jpg (37766 bytes) MVC-448S.jpg (38095 bytes) 

Here three students from the Honor Society are ready to explain more details about Wendi the Whale, they're sitting inside the MOUTH of it!  Glenn is standing in the midsection inside the whale in the picture on the right - Glenn, there IS a light at the end of the tunnel, but the tunnel is not what you THINK!  Pretend you're Jonah, and fill in the blanks....
