Publication Request; Cane River Formation Otolith-Based Paleoecology
Thomas.Dodson posted a topic in Documents
Hello all, I'm looking for another publication if anyone has a copy. I've been having difficulty finding the publication. STRINGER, G.L. & BREARD, S. 1997 Comparison of otolith-based paleoecology to other fossil groups: an example from the Cane River Formation (Eocene) of Louisiana. Transactions of the Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies, 47: 563-570 -
Hi guys! This was found off the coast of North Carolina by a scuba diver, My first thought was huge weathered otolith but I'm not sure and would like a second opinion if it might be another bone or a rock. It's a little over 5 inches. Thanks!

My first guess was an ear bone but I cant find anything that looks like it. Then I stubled on this mollusk fossil from England called gisortia coombii. Here's the kicker im in Maryland. Found it in an early miocene area.

Hello all, Are these fish otoliths? I have been finding a ton of them in my Oligocene spots in MS, and never really knew what they were. I decided to do some research and I see some resemblance wiht fish otoliths. Almost all of the vertebrate bits I find here are black, so I didn't think they could be bone, but perhaps the mineralization is different on these otoliths. I apologize for the bad photos. I am away visiting family and do not have my microscope. All specimens are less than 1cm. Oligocene Marine Mississippi

From the album: Pleistocene Microfossils from Merritt Island, Florida
I believe this is the otolith of a Spotted Seatrout (Cynoscion nebulosus) or a similar species from the Melbourne Bone Bed (10,000 - 20,000 years old. Found in microfossil matrix gathered from a dredge spoil island near Merritt Island, Florida. -

Hardhead Catfish Otolith #1, Front (Arius felis)

From the album: Pleistocene Microfossils from Merritt Island, Florida
A fish otolith, probably from the Hardhead Catfish (Arius felis) but it also closely resembles a Gafftopsail Catfish otolith (Bagre marinus) from the Melbourne Bone Bed (10,000 - 20,000 years old). It's a rather angular fossil, so I used clay to position it for the photo. Found in microfossil matrix gathered from a dredge spoil island near Merritt Island, Florida. -

Atlantic Croaker Otolith (Micropogonias undulatus)
PA Fossil Finder posted a gallery image in Members Gallery
From the album: Pleistocene Microfossils from Merritt Island, Florida
A small fish otolith from the Melbourne Bone Bed (10,000 - 20,000 years old). I think this is from an Atlantic Croaker (Micropogonias undulatus). Found in microfossil matrix from a dredge spoil pile near Merritt Island, Florida. -
Any Idea, What The Heck Is This? Otolith Or Something Like That?
antibeautycum posted a topic in Fossil ID
Okay, so this came from Hungary, from miocene (badenian) deposit. (attached picture) Scale = 1cm Any idea what this could be? Thank you! Márton -
Hi to everybody, I've been struggling a lot of time in ID these little bones. I think they are some otoliths, but I can't identify them using internet images or articles. They are Pliocene in age (from Spain). Every line from the scale is 1 mm. Thanks in advance!
