Hey there is nothing wrong with that bud! I can't wait to see these jaws you have found!  What are the sizes to the teeth in the Miocene croc jaw.

Being that this is the  rear of the jaw  the teeth are only 1" tall but they are pretty fat.  The one i found free of matrix with the complete root(sweet) is a little over 2.5".  The section itself is close to 2" feet so this croc would have been pretty big.    lemme go get a picture of it....  Like i said this was in a huge chunk of clay and it totally kicked my butt carrying it off the beach.  The funny thing is that everyone else i knew was going to lee creek this day and there weren't enough slots for me so i hunted here instead.

I know how hard that must have been but the reward is worth it.
