Here's a salamander jaw collected in the summer of 2025. This is the sort of specimen that can only be prepared with very light air abrasion and matrix removal with a delicate and precise air scribe like the ZOIC Balaur. It will remain in the matrix for stability.

ID'd as Scapherpeton.

From Jack's Bonebed near Havre, MT in the Dinosaur Park Formation. Campanian, ~76 million years old.
