Allodesmus Allodesmus Skull

The sea lion ancestor Allodesmus thrived in the Miocene bay that covered what is now Bakersfield, and many of its skulls have been found. This specimen is a male. The museums most prized specimen is a nearly complete, articulated skeleton of Allodesmus. This fossil is the only one of its kind ever found with its flippers fully intact and articulated.
