Fossil in collection (IMAGE)
Caption
The Diegoaelurus jawbone fossil has been in The Nat’s collection since 1988. It was recovered from a construction site in Oceanside by the museum’s PaleoServices team. When this carnivorous animal was alive 42 million years ago, San Diego was covered in rainforests populated by many small, unusual rodents, marsupials, primates and hooved mammals.
