Rovno Amber (Mezhigorje Fm., 33.9-28.1 Ma)

43.7g rovno amber from the Klesiv deposit, Ukraine. The thick, oxidized crust (≈2mm) is typical of material from this specific area; when backlit, it appears a deep cherry-red, but this is only due to the oxidized layer.© Kaegen Lau

Hello! I found tooth of male Dasyatis with some "bulging" on the lover parts of cusp (in lingual part of tooth). I didnt found before teeth of this genus with such "bulging" - is it some species feature or just some phatology? As far as I know from the research territory are known few species of Dasyatis: delfortriei, probsti, rugosa and strangulata... Middle Miocene. Western Ukraine. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! Found these two specimens in the Upper Albian Burim formation in Ukraine. Would appreciate any help with ID! 1. So this 1.2 cm tooth is as basic as they get - no carinae, no enamel ornamentation (enamel is there by the way), circular cross section and this really weird apical twist. When I found it in the sieve I thought it was a Polycotylid plesiosaur, but lack of striations is not typical of plesiosaurs. Can't find a large fish without carinae either (Icthyodectids, Enchodontids, Protosphyraena, Pachyrhizodus and other pachycormids all have carinae), although enamel is quite thick and definitely looks more reptilian. Crocs also have carinae. Apparently, Ctenochasmatid pterosaurs can have all of these features, but this tooth is quite robust for a pterosaur. I am confused... For comparison, other stuff from this locality left to right: Icthyodectid, Protosphyraena, Enchodus, Platypterygiine ichthyosaur, Polycotylid, Elasmosaurid tooth tip and Ornitocheiroid pterosaur 2. Well, for this one I am pretty sure it is a teleost of some kind. At first I thought it is a very worn tooth in a jaw section, but the overall shape is inconsistent with fish jaw bones. It seems relatively complete, so it would be great if there is anything diagnostic. (6 cm) @pachy-pleuro-whatnot-odon @Mike from North Queensland @ anyone else

Good evening. A couple of days ago I managed to go to three places with petrified wood at once. These outlets are not nature reserves; most often, these are fields that are just cultivated, roads and natural outcrops of bedrock (gullies, ravines, etc.). The first place is a small field, as well as a forest protection strip near a spruce planting (it was just plowed up). On a country road, one can see the rock outcrops, in which the wood is hidden. Large cobblestones are also found in the root-bed, but more often these are small slates. Orange clay is a sure sign that the layer we need is emerging here. Nature is waking up. Another forest protection strip... And the first finds. These are fragments of petrified wood from the Carboniferous period; but after meeting with the tractor, these are most often fragments. It has been raining recently, so the wood is easy to find. Nature amazes with its beauty! A few more pieces of wood and it's time to go to second place. Sometimes fragments with smoky quartz crystals come across. Carboniferous outcrops. General view. A sample of wood - most of this place is exactly like that. The second place is another field, and all the roads that lead to it The finds are embedded right into the road. There are also many fragments of wood in the gully - they have even been washed. You don't have to turn off the road... A sample of wood - most of this place is exactly like these. The samples are highly silicified, the structure of the tree is almost not preserved; but light quartz is visible within this specimen. Perhaps grinding and polishing will make the specimens worthy of the collection. Third and last place on that trip. This is no longer a field, although they are here too; these are old quarries. According to rumors, there was once a lot of petrified wood here. On this trip we did not find any fragments - it was starting to rain and we had to leave; besides, from this place we could not take anything - too close to the reserve. Heaps of broken stone are everywhere. The bedrock occurs at an angle to the surface. General view. An old tool. In the pit, where the stone was once mined, now a tree grows. A couple of photos before leaving. We did not find a petrified tree in this place, but we picked up such a fragment in a nearby field. A lot of iron, a lot of quartz. That's all for today. Thanks for attention. Have a good evening.
