unidentified teleost scales, please help with families of fishes
D.N.FossilmanLithuania posted a topic in Fossil ID
Dear researchers, I was collecting these scales and bones of teleost fishes in flint erratic boulders of South Lithuania 1-4 years ago and I still do not know which fish families these several strange finds belong to. The other remains are identified and judging by that taxa I think the majority of these fossils are from recent families. The flint origin is deep sea or ocean so some strange taxons like fangtooth, lanternfish or other can be possible. If here is an ichthyologist who knows more about recent fish scales, I would be very happy to get an answer. The scales are 2.5- 9 mm length, pointy skull bones are from 5 mm to 1 cm length. Best Regards, Domas-
