Some Triassic ‘Dinosaur Bones’ Belonged to Giant Ichthyosaurs, Paleontologists Say SciNews, April 9, 2024 Perillo, M. and Sander, P.M., 2024. The dinosaurs that weren’t: osteohistology supports giant ichthyosaur affinity of enigmatic large bone segments from the European Rhaetian. PeerJ, 12, p.e17060. Yours, Paul H. -
Hi all Grateful for any ideas on this. Found at Aust cliffs, Westbury Bone Formation. Assumed to be a fish (poss reptile) jaw bone. My working assumption is it is either Gyrolepis albertii or Severnichthys acuminatus or one of the (six?) other bony fish taxa from this part of the world. Have quite a few other bits to ID soon too! I hope the images line up. The teeth get smaller as the rock, and bone, narrows, and line up where the rock has broken [due to falling from the cliff - not me!]. The appear to curve inwards. To me they look more Gyrolepis but I have never handled a jaw bone from the fish here so not too sure. Bone seems quite thick to me. Thank you, Ashley
