Mystery Madagascar teeth ID help Croc? Pterosaur? Yes I have good proximity
jikohr posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hi everyone! I just got in some interesting teeth from the Jurassic of Madagascar Isalo lll Formation (yes I have good proximity. The were found on the outskirts of Boriziny by surface collecting, I included a map) and some of the teeth I'm not sure what they are. My best guess is either Croc or Pterosaur, leaning (hoping) Pterosaur since there is no carina and most have a flattened oval base like the Pterosaur teeth I usually see out of Morocco but then there's one with a circular base that I'm not entirely sure. I saw somewhere that Rhamphorhynchidae can be found within the Isalo, could these be from one of them? first tooth has CH of 16.5 mm, CBL of 7.11 mm, and CBW of 7.98 mm second tooth has a CH of 19.98 mm, CBL of 5.26 mm, and CBW of 6.3 mm Any insight is appreciated as always!

I brought a piece of marl from my trip to France that had some interior bits sticking out. The location is Pointe du Chay (south of La Rochelle) and age Kimmeridgian - Jurrassic. Two of the pieces I prepped out this weekend (first successful attempt in doing so despite too much glue). The tube like structure and what I first expected to be a bivalve from the outside but I don’t know any with a hexagonal pattern. thanks in advance for your help

By measuring tooth growth rings and bone blood vessels in small Jurassic mammal fossils, scientists determined that small mammals lived for 9 to 14 years back then while similarly sized mammals today would live for 1 to 3 years. https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/10/12/world/mammal-teeth-reptile-intl-scli-scn-gbr/index.html

A nice wee trip to the beach tonight at Portmuck, Northern Ireland for fish and chips by the sea (eaten in the car to avoid the cold wind of course). Followed by a quick dander over the shingle to see what has weathered out of the underlying lower Jurrassic Waterloo mudstone formation. Only a small round up of bivalves which look like cardinia ovalis and two fragments of ammonite. May not be the most sucessful hunt ever but still a great and safe way to spend a friday evening.
