    Enchodus or Xiphactinus Fish

    New to the group, so wanted to say hello. I'm looking for some help on this fish fossil. At first I thought for sure it was enchodus but in comparing it with one that I have it seems to have a much larger body unfortunately no head was found on this one. I realize that one could be juvenile vs an adult with that being said these jaws if it is from this species are also different and larger then enchodus head that I have. Both or all were found within the same geologic area of each other along with mosasaurus vertebras. The jaw sections (8" and 6") in picture could be part of this species as they were found at the same location just not at the same SITE. Measurements: spine 24" long end of tail fin 16". Thank ED
  2. I am a complete novice to everything fossil-related. My family found an awesome fossilized asterotrygon on a huge beautiful slab with a couple of knightia. (That's my research talking.} I see that the overwhelming majority recommend butvar in a solvent, so that is my plan. It seems that all the posts refer to brushing it on. It seems, to me, like this would displace the tiny bones. ? I was assuming that spraying it on would be better. Could someone give me some advice on that? Also, I don't want the slab to split (it certainly has several splits on the edges.) Do I just apply the butvar to the fossils or also to the sandstone to stabilize and seal it? I included a photo to show the size of the sandstone slab.

    Green River Fish Amia Head???

    Hello everyone, I'm looking for a second opinion on this piece, a fish head from the green river fauna, while I believe it maybe Amia due to comparisons I'm not to confident, any help/guidance is and will be appreciated.
  4. The family and just returned from awesome road trip that included a couple days of fossil hunting the Green River Formation at one of the commercial quarries open to the (paying) public near Kemmerer Wyoming. It was our first time and all three of us, especially my four year old daughter, had a great time splitting rock for fish fossils.The first day we spent splitting what the guys at the quarry called "upper layers". The stuff was on the soft side, split easy and had lots of small fish, mostly knights and diplomystus. The second they had us working stuff they referred to as "lower layers". This stuff was relatively harder but had some waves in it that made it much more difficult to split. It seemed worth the extra effort, because although we found less fish overall the second day, they were some bigger fish. I found a mioplosus and 3 phareodus of varying sizes, preservation and completeness, along with a few more little guys.Everything I found was far from perfect, and even my best finds need some work, but we came home with some cool stuff and some awesome family memories I will forever cherish. It was a great trip that was the first of what I suspect will be many out that way. As a side note, while in the area we swung by Lehi, UT to visit the Musuem of Ancient Life. This place was incredible and an absolute highlight of our trip. If you like fossils, and I can only assume you do if you're reading this, this museum will not disappoint. This is the quarry we huntedSome of the knightia and diplosA mostly complete mioplosus that needs a little prep.This phareodus is in pretty bad shape and missing more than half its body, but is big enough to make you get out of the water.Another phareodus, not as big but much better condition.This was my favorite find of the trip. Smaller than the other two phareodus but more complete. After a little repair and prep work this should be a neat fish.
  5. Good evening, I'd like to ask if anyone knows if it's possible to find fish fossils in jurassic mudrock. As far as I can tell, it must be exceedingly rare in Slovakia.
