Palaeoxyris is now thought to be the shark egg morphotype of the family Hybodontoidae. Quote from Fischer & Kogan (2008): "Based on the size differentiation and frequency of two Palaeoxyris species and different hybodont shark remains from the Stephanian lacustrine Wettin strata of the Saale Basin, Germany, SCHNEIDER (1986) was able to assign both egg capsules to their putative producers (P. helicteroides to Lissodus lacustris and P. carbonaria to Limnoselache [Sphenacanthus SOLER-GIJÓN, 1997] vicinalis; this attribution was confirmed by GEBHARDT, 1988) (Fig. 5), which occurred in the same strata but in different sedimentary facies. The capsules were mainly found in fluviatile-palustrine deposits, whereas skeletal remains were restricted to pelagic lacustrine sediments. So it seemed plausible that both hybodont shark species used the shore area of the lake for spawning."

Here's a nodule that I think may contain a Holothurian. I do not have a powerful enough 'skope to look for the sclerites. What do y'all think? Fossil or mineralization/stain? Thanks! Tim

I've been cataloguing my collection and am stumped on a few pieces which aren't really my area of expertise. I bought them a few years ago, and I know that they originate from Crock Hey, UK. I believe that they are Westphalian in age - which would mean that they are carboniferous and aged specifically between 304 - 313 MYA. I do apologise for the poor quality of photos; but it's the best that I can do. I'd greatly appreciate any assistance with identification. Identified: Specimen 1: Lepidostrobophyllum sporophylls Identified: Specimen 2: Lepidostrobophyllum sporophylls Identified: Specimen 3:Lepidodendron sp. Identified: Specimen 4: Lepidodendron sp. Identified: Specimen 5: Pecopteris sp Identified: Specimen 6: Annullaria sp Identified: Specimen 7: Calamites sp. Identified: Specimen 8: Calamites sp. EDIT: Many thanks to both Tim and Steve for their superb help, Joe
