This piece was found at Quqing, Yunnan of China. It’s Devonian formation. I’d it a segment of pterygotus?

This skull is from the Triassic Formation of Yunnan Province, China. Any idea what kind of marine reptile is that?

From http://sciencythoughts.blogspot.com/2015/05/yuganotheca-elegans-early-cambrian.html: "An Early Cambrian Lophophorate Animal with affinities to Brachiopods and Phoronids. Lophophorates are animals which feed using a filter called a lophophore, which comprises a number of setae covered tentacles, to extract food from water. The group includes the shelled Brachiopods, the worm-like Phoronids, the minute Entoprocts, and colonial Bryozoans, and has been shown by molecular and embryonic evidence to be related to the Molluscs and Annelids. Within the Lophophorates the Phoronids and Brachiopods are thought to be closely related, with some studies suggesting that the Phoronids should be regarded as a shell-less subgroup of the Brachiopods."

This fossil is from Quqing, Yunnan of China. Devonian formation. Any idea what it is?

This specimen is about 16cm in length from Guizhou in Triassic formation. Any idea if it's a primitive agnathan?

Hi, this small fish is about 8cm in length. It is from Fuyuan, Yunnnan Province of China. Any idea which species is that?
-
I believe it’s a feeding appendage. I’ve been told it’s an anomalocaradid feeding appendage, but i don’t remember any of the anoms iv seen having anything quite like that. I can’t remember ever seeing it in context, although feeding appendage definitely seems right.

Good evening folks. I have an unidentified fossil plant from Yunnan (suspect), China and is lacking any additional information. The plant leaf/stem section is 30mm wide x 35mm tall. Hoping someone in TFF knows what it is.

Hello folks. I've been digging through my "unidentified" draw again and came across eight Trilobite requiring identification. I cannot seem to locate my documentation, so, I am humbly requesting your help once again. The information I do have on this Trilobite is it comes from Yunnan, China and is from the Cambrian period. It measures 25mm x 17mm.

This is from Jingjiang of Yunnnan. Is it part of the fossil of a Youngolepis praecursor?

My friend found this big concretion like fossil in Quqing, Yunnan of China. Something on the surface looks like a placoderm to me, what do you think?

Taxonomy from Schweitzer et al. 2014. Quote (Schweitzer et al. 2014, p. 457): "Although the lobsters were interpreted as having relatively durable cuticle, the shrimp discussed herein are characterized by having very thin cuticle that is readily deformed and oriented in a variety of positions. As a result, the description and interpretation of the morphology of the shrimp is, of necessity, a composite of several specimens; however, fine detail of many parts of the skeletal anatomy is exquisite." Diagnosis from Schweitzer et al. 2014, p. 467: "Carapace longer than high; rostrum very long, 40 percent length of carapace, with one basal suprarostral spine and one subrostral spine at midlength; uropodal exopod with diaeresis; ventral lateral margins of telson with setal pits, appearing to extend entire length of telson; third maxilliped about as long as first and second pereiopods, with spine bases or setal pits along propodal and dactyl ventral margin; pereiopods 1– 3 chelate, third pereiopod longest, fourth and fifth longer than first and second, pereiopods without spines; pleopods apparently with multiarticulate flagellae." Identified by oilshale using Schweitzer et al. 2014. Characteristic is the extremely long rostrum, constituting 40 percent of the carapace length.

Yuknessia sp. Early Cambrian Haikou Yunnan China Yuknessia was originally interpreted as a green alga and has since been reinterpreted it as a colonial pterobranch.
