Fossil hunting weekend to Falaises des Vaches Noires (Jurassic of France) + museum visit
ziggycardon posted a topic in Fossil Hunting Trips
Hi everyone! Last week we went on a weekend trip with our fossil club the BVP to go on a fossil hunt to the jurassic clay cliffs "Falaises de Vaches Noires" between Houlgate & Villers-Sur-Mer in Normandy, France. https://www.paleontica.org/locations/fossil/68 The famous cliffs of Vaches Noires date back to the Jurassic period, and span both the Callovian & Oxfordian stages (166 - 157 mya) and the Cretaceous period spanning the Cenomanian (100 - 94 mya). Back in the jurassic this area was a rich marine environment and fossils that can be found here are man- 30 replies

A couple of questions concerning these fish. Are all nursallia teeth characterized by the eight or so bumps on one side of the tooth? Did pycnodonts regularly shed their teeth? Most of the teeth I have found are hollowed out basally, which makes me think that they were shed, I have a few that look like they have remnants of jaw fragments attached, which makes me think that these teeth belonged in the mouth of a fish that had died. How do you tell the difference between pycnodontid and lepidotid teeth? Thanks!

Lepidotes Fish in Kem Kem?
Seguidora-de-Isis posted a topic in Is It Real? How to Recognize Fossil Fabrications
Good morning to everyone at TFF! What exactly is this? According to the seller, this belongs to a Lepidotes pankowskii (South Taouz, Errachidia Province, South Morocco - Formation Ifezouane, Red Sandstone Beds, KemKem Basin - Upper Cretaceous, Cenomanian stage - ~96 Million Years) . It's real? Is there scientific information on this? Any and all information will be extremely useful to assist me. I thank everyone! @Troodon @LordTrilobite @Tidgy's Dad @Haravex @hxmendoza -
I just recieved a box with a random assortment of Kem Kem fossils and I was wondering if some of you might help out with some of the ID's 1) A fish scute, Adrianaichthys (Lepidotes) pankowskii would be my guess. 2) Another Adrianaichthys (Lepidotes) pankowskii scale? 3) A small bone, turtle perhaps? 4) Crocodile osteoderm 5) Crocodile osteoderm 6) I often see similar fossil sold as Kem Kem coprolites 7) base of an Onchopristis num

Fish from the Middle Purbeck (Lower Cretaceous) of Dorset
onawhim posted a topic in Member Collections
My first post of a few fossils from my collection. This is a fish, found in a quarry in Swanage, Dorset, England, where the Intermarine Beds of the Purbeck Group of limestones are exposed, in order to extract building stones. These "Middle Purbeck Beds" are actually the Stair Hole Member of the Durlston Formation of the Purbeck Group, being deposited at Mediterranean latitudes in a vast system of brackish to freshwater lagoons and lakes. The shallow water limestone beds sometimes have dinosaur footprints on their upper surfaces. The photos show the two fish found (after prepping) which have- 6 replies

Here is one of my latest finds, a very big Lepidotes! I think my heart missed a beat when I first spotted this and turned it over as it was lying on its back! It is a rare three dimensional fish fossil. It's nice to have the pectoral fin preserved. I prepped some of the front teeth out, and they are very large. Still a lot of prep work left to do on this one.
