Where can I find information about the taphonomy of the Asery (Aseri) Level in the St.Petersburg region, Russia?
Oxytropidoceras posted a topic in Questions & Answers
Has a comprehensive study of the taphonomy of the trilobites found in the Asery Level, Simankovo Formation, been published in either English or Russian? If so, where has this research been published? I have found online a copy of: Ivantsov, A. Y. (2004) Ordovician Trilobites of the Subfamily Asaphinae of the Ladoga Glint. Paleontological Journal v. 37, supp. 3, pp. S229-S337. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260191469_Ordovician_Trilobites_of_the_Subfamily_Asaphinae_of_the_Ladoga_Glint https://www.academia.edu/2353004/Ordovician_Trilobites_of_the_Subfamily_Asaphinae_of_the_Ladoga_Glint However, I would like to find a more detailed discussion of the taphonomy / sedimentology of the the Asery Level, Simankovo Formation if it exists in either English or Russian. More details are in "What's the age of Asery Level" at http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/83363-whats-the-age-of-asery-level/ Any citations that anyone can recommend would be appreciated. Yours, Paul H. -
I just saw this could it be a pliosaur tooth, measures 3cm long and found in Russia?

Teeth like this confuse me - i believe it is either a Plesiosaur or Pterosaur tooth (listed as Pterosaur from the seller) and it comes from the cretaceous sediments of Stariy Oskol, Belgorod region in Russia according to the description. It is 4cm in length. Any idea what this tooth most likely is? Thanks.

I recently acquired a collection of assorted rocks and minerals. Many of these specimens are from the 70's, 80's and 90's ( am in the US). In this group there is two ammonite in matrix specimens. I believe they are Russian due to them being pyritized. I am having a difficult time finding info about what species and what value these specimens may have. I go to the Tucson show every year and I don't often see ammonites like this. I was told to come here to find the experts! Thank you for your time, I look forward to posting more now that I am a member StoneAgeQuarry

Hi all, I was recently offered this tooth from late Cretaceous of Orensburg, Russia. Most likely Gaisky City District. I can't figure out if it's a Polycotylid plesiosaur or Pterosaur tooth. The overall shape is closer to pterosaur than plesiosaur. However, I am not aware of pterosaur having wrinkling like that, nor do I know of pterosaur teeth being found there. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm a complete novice here, I purchased this strange rock as a souvenir when travelling through Mongolia and Russia if was bought from Nomads who forage the area close to lake Baikal on the Mongolia side of the border. It strangely drew me to it as it was sort of hidden under some other prettier looking rocks. The internet doesn't seem to say it's likely to be a mushroom, although as I'm sure you will agree from the photos it's easy to believe it is. I'd appreciate anyone expertise and thoughts anyone might have on Mushrooms or anything similar they have seen before? Thank you for your time and interest.
