Last Saturday we went on a new fieldtrip on one of our favorite hunting spots for Devonian fossils. Not a lot of fossils were found and the only large goniatite, although pretty at first sight turned out to be a nightmare to prep with little to no preservation further down in the nodule. On the other hand we had verry sunny day with nice views over the area and the first flowers taking advantage of the sunlight on the older scree piles. We also brought home a few small nodules with tornoceras fossils , they will take a while to prepp before we will see if they were worthwhile.

On a recent fieldtrip I found a verry large and promising looking goniatite. The center of the specimen was covered in claystone. I tried a combination of mechanical prep with air scribe and treatment with potassium hydroxide. Removing matrix as close to the fossil as possible and then treating it with potassium hydroxide. I repeated this process a few times until I managed to clear out the whole center of the fossil. before and after pictures: Crickites sp. Frasnian ( Late Devonian) Belgium

ID requested: Eocene micro shark teeth from Tielt Formation, Egem (Belgium)
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone, yesterday I recieved a lot of shark teeth, 20 of which came from the Egem Clay, Tielt Formation, Egem, Belgium that date back to the Ypresian, Eocene. The teeth are very small sized so I tried a macro lens to take pictures (I apologize for the not always clear images), and I believe most belong to Physogaleus secundus. But I wanted to share my thoughts on the ID's of the teeth and see what your imput would be as I am not an expect on Eocene shark teeth. Tooth 1: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 2: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 3: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 4 Physogaleus secundus Tooth 5: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 6: Physogaleus secundus or Galeocerdo? Tooth 7: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 8: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 9: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 10: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 11: Abdounia minutissima or Scyliorhinus sp.? Tooth 12: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 13: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 14: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 15: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 16: Physogaleus secundus Tooth 17: Physogaleus secundus? Not sure, looks a little different in morphology then the rest. Tooth 18: Physogaleus secundus Thank you in advance!- 2 replies
