  1. Got to work on these guys because some of these creatures were my inspiration of what they would have looked like in color and others are at an art show. Wonder what animals will you like to see when its unleashed before your very eyes?
  2. Location: Missouri Period: Pennsylvanian Formation: Iola Limestone (Muncie Creek Shale Member) Hello once again! Today I have a fossil tooth that I happened to have seen while going through my old phosphatic nodules from Muncie Creek and was wondering if anyone could identify it further than a Cladodont tooth. I have googled images of Cladodont teeth and believe it to possible be a tooth belonging to Falcatidae, but what do you think? It resembles a few of these teeth on the chart below in size and form, hence why i'm making the guess of it being a Falcatid even though my tooth has very slight differences in lengths of each cusplet. I will note that my specimen seems to have 6 cusps total, while the specimens below that it most resembles has 5. Here is the size in mm. The last thing I wanted to note is that it might be next to possible coprolitic material, although it's hard to tell as coprolites in these nodules looks very similar to just a phosphate center, although if you find inclusions its almost guaranteed. Example of an obvious coprolite and a not so obvious coprolite from these nodules.
  3. Female, head disarticulated and displaced. The fish is embedded in a mass of filamentous algae. Alternative combination: Physonemus falcatus. "The genus Physonemus was originally erected for P. arcuatus by McCoy (1848) to receive elegant forwardly-curved, well omamented Paleozoic fin spines of unknown affìnities ... The Paleozoic fin spine Physonemus falcatus St. John and Worthen 1883, from the Valmeyeran St. Louis Limestone of St. Louis, Missouri, has been found on sexually mature males of a small, highly sexually dimorphic chondrichthyan from the Chesterian Bear Gulch Limestone of Montana" (Lund 1985, p.1). Diagnosis from Lund 1985, p.3: “Small sharks, maximum known size 145 mm fork length, with forwardly-curved spines, inclined at mean angle of 14.5 degrees to the horizontal. Neither spine nor first dorsal fin present on juveniles below 124 mm length, nor on females. Males with elongate rostrum, denticles covering dorsum of rostrum, cranium and dista] portion of dorsal rod, females with short rostrum and devoid of denticles. Teeth delicate, cladodont, tooth whorls of larger, non-cladodont teeth external to jaws. Pectoral fin with five prearticular basals, a metapterygium bearing six radials, and an axis of seven elements with only one radial. Pelvic girdle supports 8—10 radials; clasper of male consisting of 6—8 axials and a three-part mixopterygium. Second dorsal fin of 12—14 well spaced radials followed by a triangular basal plate, l9—21 distal radials. Axial skeleton of 44 precaudal segments, 18 preural caudals and 16—18 ural caudals. Caudal fin deeply forked, equilobate, with no radials between dorsal and ventral lobes.” Line drawing from Lund 1985, p. 13: References: St. John, O. H. and Worthen, A. H. (1875). Descriptions of fossil fishes. Geological Survey of Illinois 6:245—488. St. John, O. H. and Worthen, A. H. (1883). Descriptions of fossil fishes; a partial revision of the Cochliodonts and Psammodonts. Geological Survey of Illinois 7:55—264. Lund, Richard (1985). The morphology of Falcatus falcatus (St. John and Worthen), a Mississippian stethacanthid chondrichthyan from the Bear Gulch Limestone of Montana, Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 5:1-19, DOI: 10.1080/02724634.1985.10011842.
  4. Dear Fossilforum members, I was wondering if the echinoid on this piece of matrix is indeed a Gauthieria radiata and if so, does that appoint this fossil to the lower, middle or upper Turonian? The shark tooth is a Squalicorax falcatus and the piece was found in the Ardennes departement of France. I know the age of a few locations nearby, but the age of the location where this piece is from is nowhere to be found in literature. I also am not sure if I may say where it was (it took a lot of questioning to find out where it can from haha). Therefore I hope that the echinoid perhaps could be used to appoint a specific age to it. In anycase, thank you very much for your answers, Kind regards, Sander
  5. After stuffing my face into tons of scientific articles on Late Cretaceous Lamniformes, I decided that I'd want to draw some sharks. Here's a drawing of the two infamous sharks of the Niobrara Formation Cretoxyrhina mantelli and Squalicorax falcatus as partners-in-crime. I've made the Cretoxyrhina ≈6-7 meters and the Squalicorax ≈2 meters. As 2 meters would be the same size as a very tall 6'6" human, you could imagine the Squalicorax as the tallest ordinary human and see how much bigger Cretoxyrhina is. I've always felt like Squalicorax would commonly accompany predators like Cretoxyrhina to "help" strip bare the latter's kill (Crow sharks are indeed inferred by scientists as opportunistic feeders or scavengers), almost as if Ginsus had them as little cronies. Also, the common name Crow Shark sounds somewhat similar to crony. Now what if we started a new nickname for Squalicorax as a crony? That would be hilarious and maybe realistic. EXTRAS
