NO, this is NOT an Oreo-eating dinosaur!
It is a short-legged, blunt-headed herbivore with 5 toes
on each front foot, and 4 on each rear foot. This mammal lived 30-35
million years ago in the Late Oligocene era. From the White River
Formation, Pennington County, South Dakota.

"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!

awesome fish

Kansas Formation)

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

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):

is an exquisite basket made of strips of whale baleen by Inuit in Alaska,
topped with a whale tale of walrus ivory and a bottom disk of ivory.
These retail for a minimum of $400. This one is a gift from Glenn to
