Taxonomy according to fossilworks.org. Diagnosis for the genus according to Bartram, 1977 (p. 140, excerpts): "Large, elongate macrosemiid fishes; skull roof free from ganoine; supratemporals greatly reduced; cephalic division of main lateral line and supratemporal commisure exposed by fenestrae; vomers bearing a transverse row of stout pointed teeth and a pair of large blunt teeth; ventral parts of anterior three infraorbitals expanded and overlapping the maxilla; gape very small, the quadrate articulation lying in front of the orbit ... dorsal fin single, extending from the occiput to

Caturidae non det. Upper Jurassic Tithonian (Malm zeta) Solnhofen Germany Length 33cm / 13" -
Crustaceans are a large, diverse group of anthropods which includes the crabs, prawns, lobsters, barnacles and other shelled animals. Perhaps owing to their hard shells and marine lifestyles, crustaceans have a rich and extensive fossil record, extending up to the Cambrian, though they do not appear in abundance until the Carboniferous. They make for attractive and familiar fossils, and are one of my favorite groups to collect. Allow me to present my humble collection.

The first pereiopod is strongly elongated, was used to catch prey, and was more calcified than the rest of the body. Mecochirus was probably a bottom-dwelling reef inhabitant. On the plate are also several specimens of the swimming crinoid Saccocoma tenella GOLDFUSS, 1831 Literature: C. E. Schweitzer, R. M. Feldmann, A. Garassino, H. Karasawa, and G. Schweigert. 2010.

I saw this tooth for sale recently, labeled as Pterosaur from Solnhofen, the tooth seems way too thick to be pterosaur, any thoughts? I'm thinking it might be fish, but I have no idea.

Hi all, I was playing with my poop a while back, as one does, and discovered a hidden treasure. I prepped out what I think is a nice little floating crinoid. It looks beefier than the Saccocoma in my collection. Can anyone verify that is what this is? Thanks a bunch!

Hello all My friend recently got this tooth from the famous Solnhofen Plattenkalk, and he really wants to know what the tooth belonged to. He is hoping for something like Archaeopteryx or Compsognathus. I personally don't think it belongs to either of those (although I love this tooth, it's very beautifel), but can't really tell which it is. I've heard everything ranging from dinosaur to fish for this one. Could any of you help? Specifics of the tooth: Size: 9mm Age: Thitonian (Late Jurassic) Seems to be unserrated Has some kind of 'ditch' simil

Anaethalion has a strikingly spindle-shaped body and a large caudal fin that is deeply split with equally large lobes. The large dorsal fin is behind the middle of the body, the fish has a large anal fin. The pelvic fin is located slightly behind the middle of the body. It is a fast, small predator, which reaches body sizes up to about 20 cm.

New Upper Jurassic Thylacocephala species
oilshale posted a topic in Partners in Paleontology - Member Contributions to Science
I donated this Thylacocephala from the Upper Jurassic lithographic limestones of Solnhofen to Prof. Haug, LMU Munich. So far, three species of Thylacocephala have been described from the Altmühltal Formation (“Solnhofen lithographic limestones”),: Clausocaris lithographica, Dollocaris michelorum and Mayrocaris bucculata. Now a fourth new genus and species has been added: Falcatacaris bastelbergeri (Prof. Haug was so kind and named the species after me). https://bioone.org/journals/Palaeodiversity/volume-12/issue-1/pale.v12.a6/A-new-thylacocephalan-crustacean-from-the-Upper-Jurassic- 16 replies

Pholidophorus macrocephalus Late Jurassic Solnhofen Bavaria Germany Length 32cm -
Diagnosis by Kietzmann & Bressan, 2019: Lumbricaria with elongate, bending strings showing overlapping of different parts throughout its length. Cylindrical cross-section. Locally, short segments can appear straight (based on the description emended by Janicke 1970). Lumbricaria is a trace fossil which is interpreted as the fossilized excrement (coprolite) of cephalopods. This trace genus (Ichnogenus) occurs in the Solnhofen plate limestones and various other similar plate lime occurrences. In the Solnhofen plate limestones, it belongs to the relatively frequent fossils.

To mark the occasion of this new sub forum for museums. I would like you show you some wonderful stuff in Teylers Museum in Haarlem, Netherlands. This is actually the oldest museum in the Netherlands and thus also has some really cool history attached to it and it's specimens. http://www.teylersmuseum.nl/en Besides fossils this museum also holds an art and science collection. The museum is just as beautiful as the specimens in it and a true time capsule. While it is quite a small museum, it's charm is worth the trip alone. Even the cabinets are pretty. It even has a few world firsts, such

A non-archaeopterygid avialan theropod from the Late Jurassic of southern Germany Exciting news from Munich and the famous Solnhofen area Everybody is familiar with Archaeopteryx, but according to a new paper published by the University in Munich, it had a brother who lived at the same time in the same area: Alcmonavis poeschli The Late Jurassic ‘Solnhofen Limestones’ are famous for their exceptionally preserved fossils, including the urvogel Archaeopteryx, which has played a pivotal role in the discussion of bird ori
