Dear Guys, I recently found this scute fossil in pink fluvial sandstone erratic boulder of Juodikiai quarry, Klaipeda district, Western Lithuania. It has many pits various in size and it is 1.4 cm length. I think it is turtle because the fossil is flat and rectangular but I need opinion about family and age. Best Regards Domas

Please help to confirm Cave lion antherothoracic vertebrae from Lithuania
D.N.FossilmanLithuania posted a topic in Fossil ID
Dear Guys, Few days ago I found this thoracic vertebrae of quite big carnivorous mammal, it is 6 cm length with spineand has some very interesting relief features. The bone was found in Varena town, South Lithuania. There are some building sites where the sand of latest ice age dunes is deeply mixed up. By me this vertebra looks very similar to big felid like cave lion because I checked one publication with bones of Anyui lion. If you see the same features of lion vertebra here, please help with confirmation of this interesting find. Best Regards Domas

Late Cretaceous small tetrapods found in Lithuania
D.N.FossilmanLithuania posted a topic in Fossil ID
Dear Guys, I made the pictures of possible big discovery in Late Cretaceous erratics of Lithuania. There are some frog bones in flints (ilium, urostyle, tibiofibula, scapula), snake pieces (tibiofibula like of Tetrapodophis! and one thin scale), and toothed birs upper and lower jaw fossils. If you could confirm these finds, it will be the first further my article in scientific magazine and I wish it will be successful. There will be some posts, please review the pictures and tell what do you think. At first, I will show you frog remains. Best Regards Domas The second part- snake remains.

Dear Guys, Yesterday I found quite an interesting fossil of horse, it is the lower mandible with three preserved teeth and its length is 19 cm. The measures of three teeth from left to right of the photos are: 1- 2,9 cm width, 2- 2,6 cm width, 3- 2,5 cm width. The fossil found in the forest where sandy Pleistocene layers are near surface, it is found in that layers. I think the genus of fossil is Equus but what about species? Is it only Equus sp. or E. hemionus, E. caballus, E. ferus ferus, other? I noticed that each specie has little or more different location of enamel layers, maybe it could be easier to identify by them? It is found near Varena town, south Lithuania (Baltic States, Eastern Europe). Any idea would be very helpful. Best Regards Domas

Dear Guys, I recently found some bones that are difficult to me to identify- possible mammoth rib proximal end, rhino zugoma and unidentified radius bone in Late Pleistocene sand layers of Varena Town, South Lithuania (it is Eastern Europe). The width of mammoth rib proximal end is 6,2 cm in the articular part, the bone layer in the cross section is massive. The length of possible rhino zygomatic bone is 5,6 cm and it has specific texture in the skull surface near eye. It is also massive and I see that thickness of bone is about 1,5 cm. The partial radius is 10,2 cm length and 3 cm width in the lower articular part. Any idea what this should be? Best Regards Domas

Dear Guys, Today I found very interesting and also simply looking tusk fragment in Varena town (South Lithuania) near my home. Its length is 8,3 cm and it has thick bone layer in the both ends. It is almost straight and by appearance of piece I see that it was long and sharp. The age of fossil is Late Pleistocene, the last glaciation times. Any idea what is this? Best Regards Domas

Dear Guys, I noticed the very specific group of erratics that have some rare fossils like land arthropods, plants and vertebrates (sarcopterygian fishes, amphibians and reptile ancestors maybe). The fossils are collected in Varena town, South Lithuania. Talking about Carboniferous erratics, this is first findings of them in my area. Please help with ID or confirm fossils if you can At first, the arthropod remains. Best Regards Domas

Dear Guys, Yesterday I found one big calcaneus bone, I think it should be carnivore because the big joint is located in the side. It should not be an ungulate. It could be the most similar to cat or dog but I think dogs did not have so large calcaneus- my find is 10,5 cm length. Any idea what is this? Best Regards Domas

Dear Guys, I recently noticed the surprising similarity between two calcaneus bones I found in the same forest felling in South Lithuania. I think they belong to deers but the first in the picture is very big (8,3 cm length) and second is small (6,3 cm length). Is it possible that larger bone belong to Irish Elk? The latest fossils of this animal found in Siberia, they are 8000 years old. Best Regards Domas

Dear Guys, I have found the first phalanx bone of artiodactyl in the same forest felling as two calcaneum bones similar to deer. The wild ox and big deer phalanges are very similar but it would be great to know which animal it is. The size of first phalange is 5,3 cm length so it should be small wild ox or big deer (e.g. Irish Elk). Any idea what is this? Best Regards Domas
-
Dear Guys, I have found one thick phalange but I cannot decide what animal it is. Very similar appearance have mammoth but also horse distal phalange. The width is 6 cm. Any idea what is this? Best Regards Domas

Antelope metapodial and calcaneum from Late Pleistocene
D.N.FossilmanLithuania posted a topic in Fossil ID
Dear Guys, I have two possible bones of antelopes, they are very small to ungulates. I found these two bones in the Late Pleistocene sand layers of Varena town, South Lithuania. The calcaneum is only 4 cm length, metapodial- 10,5 cm length. The confirmation of these fossils would be very helpful to my further articles. Any idea what is this? Best Regards Domas

Dear Guys, I have found one very thin and long (15,5 cm length) tibia and in my opinion it should be too small to ungulate. The wider end has very oblong and thin cross section, I think it could belong to rabbit but I have doubt because the lower joint in rabbit tibias does not look very similar. Any idea which mammal bone is this? Best Regards Domas

Dear Guys, Today I found very small (3,1 cm length) sharp bone, by me it should be phalange of claw and by the appearance I think it should be something like badger. The age is Late Pleistocene, it is from sand layers of South Lithuania. Any idea what is this? Best Regards Domas

Dear Guys, I have found many strange scales with radial incisions but I do not know which kind of fish they belong to. The age of the continental limestone boulders with these scales should be Triassic. Might they belong to coelacanths? Any idea what is this? Kind regards Domas
