From the album: Oxford Clay Fauna
Pachycormidae WOODWARD 1895 indet. Jurassic, Callovian Oxford Clay, Peterborough Member [ A ] Orton Pit [ B ] Hampton Lakes, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, UK Teeth from indeterminate, predatory pachycormid fish. Likely pertaining to either 'Hypsocormus' leedsi SMITH & WOODWARD 1889 or 'Hypsocormus' tenuirostris SMITH & WOODWARD 1889, which can be distinguished only by characters of the rostrum. Neither species actually belongs to Hypsocormus WAGNER 1860 according to MAXWELL et al. 2020, but are closer to more derived, macropredatory pachycormids like Orthocormus WEITZEL 1930, though their exact affinities remain indeterminate due to their highly fragmentary nature.-

I've asked a question to Dr Jeff Liston regarding circular markings Iris and I keep seeing on the Leedsichthys bones we find. Jeff knows a few things about the big fish and said he had always Interpreted them as shellfish markings but was unsure. Any other suggestions please from TFF collective. Iris and I will return to the site "pics below" when covid restrictions allow to see if we can pick out a few more bits.
