    That is even better than the Dugon vertebrae that are in the cave wall we got to see.

    I think it can be hard to imagine just how big and fierce these Megs were.
    Makes you what it would be like to swim with them.
    We just saw the trailer for Jurassic park the new one looks interesting.
    I have been fascinated with fossils since I was a kid.
    There are some outstanding fossils in FL caves.

    I've seen that photo before. The story is that while the tooth and vertebrae are real, the joining of them was done later. I don't know if that is true or not, but what I read on the internet. Also, if it had been a real attack the tooth would likely lodge in the side not the flat.....

    I'm so glad you said that, bc it is exactly what I was thinking but I thought I was just missing something.

    Agreed! Either piece alone is amazing and together they are even better, but I just couldn't get my head around how it happened!

    I was going to ask where that was from because I am 99% sure thats not a natural occurrence. Its fairly apparent that anatomically it would be exceptionally u likely to be real. I just didnt want to rain on the parade
