From the album: Triassic
Lungfish are an ancient group of fish, with swim bladders that evolution co-opted as a kind of "lung," allowing them to breathe air. This may have proven invaluable in a seasonally dry climate in Pangea.-

From the album: Permian
Ornamented lungfish bone/scales are fairly common, but their teeth seem to be comparatively rare. This one is ~ 3 mm in its longest dimension. ^Mottequin et al. (2015) -
Hi guys, last week I started studying so I don't have much time at the moment and because of that I can't be very active here. Nevertheless I could go hunting last weekend (related to my eighteenth birthday (so why I am still a youth member?? )). I was in a quarry near Stuttgart where you can find fossils from the Triassic. Looking for bones and teeth in the "Bonebed" there is quite strenuous but it makes always fun! Especially if you find something good And my best find was this lungfish tooth (Ceratodus): Never found something like that before so I am quite happy with it! It's about 2.5 cm long and I prepped it with my air pen and with my new sandblasting machine! The prep work took about 1 hour. I can't really estimate how rare such a find is but maybe @Pemphix can say more! Thanks for viewing
