2" Fossil Crocodile Dentary (Lower Jaw) Bone - Aguja Formation, Texas

Fossil Crocodile Dentary (Lower Jaw) Bone - Aguja Formation, Texas #116656

This is a 2.0" wide fossil, unidentified crocodile dentary (lower jaw) bone from the Aguja Formation, Brewster County, Texas. It is in excellent condition and contains four teeth. The dentary, is the tooth bearing bone of the lower jaw. There are a number of undescribed crocodylimorphs from this formation, so until scientific descriptions are written it is impossible to identify unknown bones or teeth.

This specimen was collected within the past year on private deeded property in Brewster County, Texas. You won't see any other dinosaur material from the Aguja and Javelina Formations for sale because nearly all of the formations lie within the boundaries of Big Bend National Park, where fossils may not be collected, or in Mexico, where fossils cannot be commercially traded. One of our partners was lucky enough to purchase several hundred acres of ranch land in Texas containing a good exposure of these formations, and we will be offering more material from the locality in the future.
