Hi Thiago,

Thank you for your reply. The mandible weighs 85.1 g (I hope this helps).

Best,

Liselotte

Hi Liselotte,

it would be cool if we know the weight, which I can give certainty, But by the size and size of the teeth, it can be Tursiops.

Dear Zooarchers,

I have come across a mandible which I suspect to be from a common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus), a species which we haven't got in our collection (although it contains quite a large number of marine mammals). Is there someone out there who can identify this specimen?

Pictures can be found here:

Thank you in advance,

Liselotte
