From the album: alpine triassic Ammonoids
Hashplate of Ladinian age. The two smooth shelled ammonoids are inner cores of Gymnites cf. arthaberi(size= 3cm). The ammonoid top left is a Arpadites sp. A fragment of Protrachyceras cf. archelaus (darker brown spiny shell part down right) is evidence for Ladinian/Longobardian time(archelaus zone). -

From the album: Triassic vertebrate fossils
This is a 1.2 cm long Acrodus tooth with a nice structure ! Those are very common in some layers in the "Bonebed" in a quarry in southern Germany (Baden-Württemberg) but bigger ones are quite rare.- 1 comment

All I know is that they may be from Madagascar - any help identifying the type of fish and age would be great. Triassic perhaps? I'm afraid I have no more information. Thank you!

Dinosaurs ended - and originated - with a bang ? In the new paper, published today in Nature Communications, evidence is provided to match the two events – the mass extinction, called the Carnian Pluvial Episode, and the initial diversification of dinosaurs Press release http://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2018/april/dinosaurs-ended-and-originated-with-a-bang-.html Paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-03996-1

I don't know much about plants. What could this be? Part of a cycad? An infructescence? The fossil comes from the Upper Triassic / Lower Jurassic of Unternschreez near Bayreuth, Germany. Can someone help me with that? Thank you Thomas

From the album: Vertebrates
Icarealcyon malagasium Beltan, 1984 Early Triassic Dienerian Sakamena Formation Ambilobe Madagascar Due to its enormous pectoral fins, Icarealcyon malagasium was described by Beltan as a "poisson volant" - a "flying fish" - in the family Semonotidae (not related to what is now known as "flying fish" - these are Exocoetidae in the order Beloniformes). You would expect flying fish to be fast swimmers - the rather thickset appearance of Icarealcyon more likely hints to slow swimmers with relatively high maneuverability (comparable to Albertonia from British Columbia). -
Hi Help needed please, Does anyone recognise what this bone is? It's from the late Triassic, rhaetian of the UK. I don't think it's broken and I suspect it's a skull bone but that's the extent of my guesses. It's about 3 inches long and pretty thin. The outcrop is a bone bed which is mainly marine ie ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and fish but it does contain the remains of land animals. Bones are isolated and it's extremely rare to find anything associated. thanks Nick

Yesterday I started my fossil season 2018. It was the first real warm spring weekend this year. What a good feeling to get out again on such a beautyful day. Fortune was along with me and so I found several Triassic ammonoids. The small ones in the block are of upper Carnian(Tuvalian) age. The black Arcestes are of Norian age. Much snow is still on the higher mountains so it will last longer to start collecting at higher locations this year. regards Andreas

Hi Here's a small femur from the Triassic reptile Pachstropheus rhaeticus. The femur is about 2 inches long and sits amongst some Triassic debris including fish teeth. Nick

I found this piece of bone about a month ago and didn't really know what I was dealing with until I started prepping it out. I know that it is theropod based on the hollow structure, this should be at least somewhat visible in the photo of the broken edge. It came from the Redonda Formation in Eastern New Mexico where theropod remains have been found, but nothing identifiable to species. If anyone here can identify the species that would be fantastic, but I really just want to know what bone it is. My guess is the end of the pubis or ilium, but I was hoping for some other opinions.
