  1. Othniel C. Marsh

    Cetacean Otolith

    Pictured below is an otolith from an indeterminate cetacean, from the Miocene of the Calvert Cliffs Formation. I've had this particular specimen in my collection for some time, but was under the impression that otoliths weren't diagnostic to any degree, but my research surrounding cetacean dentition for a dolphin tooth I plan to purchase soon has proved otherwise, so I thought it would be worth putting it to the experts. Unfortunately I can't find my ruler to provide a sense of scale for the photos, but the specimen is approximately 4cm long and 1.5cm tall. Thanks in advance for any proposals as to the origin of the fossil Othniel
  2. Hi all, Following up from my previous thread (https://www.thefossilforum.com/topic/139153-sea-urchins-sand-dollars-and-brachiopods-aireys-inlet-victoria-australia/), I returned to the same site (Aireys Inlet, Victoria, Australia) and closely inspected the fine, freshly eroded material on the sandstone platform/overhang (presuming ~20-25Mya), finding a number of interesting semi-micro fossils (1-5mm in size). Would appreciate any thoughts and ID! Will post in separate posts for clarity. First off, this beautiful little echinoid, ~3mm in diameter:

    What are these?

    I found these fossils in the cliffs here in Victoria. I was told by a fossil collector that they are fish earbones/otoliths. Can anyone confirm what they are? Thanks, Manfi

    Large otolith

    Good day, dear forum participants! Today's paleo-fishing in the clays of the Barton age brought such a catch in the form of an otolith. The size is exactly 10 mm in length, can there be any thoughts on identification? Please tell me who it could be. Tavda Formation, Western Siberia, Barton

    Whale Otolith, bone, or rock?

    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!

    Spotted Seatrout Otolith #1, Front B

    From the album: Pleistocene Microfossils from Merritt Island, Florida

    The third picture of the Spotted Seatrout otolith.

    Spotted Seatrout Otolith #1, Front A

    From the album: Pleistocene Microfossils from Merritt Island, Florida

    Another picture of the Spotted Seatrout otolith.

    Spotted Seatrout Otolith #1, Back

    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, Back (Arius felis)

    From the album: Pleistocene Microfossils from Merritt Island, Florida

    Another view of the Hardhead Catfish otolith.
  11. PA Fossil Finder

    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.
  12. From the album: Pleistocene Microfossils from Merritt Island, Florida

    This is another view of the Atlantic Croaker otolith.
  13. 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.
