Comments

This fish from Painten (Kimmeridgian) was determined by Mrs. López-Arbarello ( Bayerischen Staatssammlung für Paläontologie und Geologie, Munich) as Macrosemimimus cf. fegerti.  The exact determination is still pending.
M. fegerti was found so far only in the somewhat younger lithographic layers (Tithonian) of Ettling (Markt Pförring).
