Sweden Marine Reptile Vertebra - Kristianstad Basin; Scanisaurus (?)
Kikokuryu posted a topic in Fossil ID
There wasn't a huge amount of information to go off of from what I found, so I was wondering if anyone here could help who is familiar with this material. I was not sure if the label and ID provided for this specimen was accurate or not, and the color doesn't seem to match up with the few specimens I've seen online which are more of a lighter brown to tan. Scanisaurus is maybe just used as a wastebasket term for most of what comes out of the deposit? Species: Scanisaurus nazarowi Age: Cretaceous, Campanian Formation: Kristianstad Basin Provenance: Northwest Skåne Province, Southern Sweden Just looking at the wiki, for plesiosaurids, there's Scanisaurus, cf. Elasmosaurus, and indeterminate polycotylids. Measurement is in centimeters.

I'm wondering what the rounded fossil might be? The place it was found contains mostly sand, and smaller shark teeths here and there. I think later createous? Really small shark teeth sometimes, not more than 2-3 mm sometimes. The rounded fossil is about 1cm on the long side. It might just be a pebble, or a fish tooth or a gastric stone, or a miss-grown shark teeth? I really don't know? I'll add some of the shark teeths for reference so you guys know the setting it was found in.

I think this is a piece of a crab, perhaps the ”torso”? I found a paper with crabs from Kristianstad basin, but only images of claws, and it is not part of a claw from what I can tell? https://sp.lyellcollection.org/content/434/1/241 The crab in the paper is named Protocallianassa. What do you think?

From the album: Sponges, Kristianstad Basin
Upper Campanian, Cretaceous I thought this was a Callopegma aucale, but now am unsure. (See discussion below) I've used this ref for identification ->LINK I've concluded from other sources that the area where this sponge was found - does indeed belong to the (lower) Upper Campanian. About 16cm at the base and 17.5cm at the diagonal.
