Dear Guys, This summer I found these two fossils in the same fluvial sandstone erratic boulder- the first is possible procoracoid bone of Pelycosaur (the specialist thinks it belongs to reptile or reptiliomorph amphibian), and the second is glossy skull bone of sarcopterygian fish (probably lungfish but also could belong to megalichthyid). The procoracoid bone is 1.4 cm length and the skull bone of fish is 5 mm length. The erratic boulder was found in Dauksiai village, Joniskis district, Northern Lithuania. Please help me to know which kind of fish this skull bone belongs to. Any help will be appreciated! Best Regards Domas

Dear Guys, I recently found three very interesting remains- two inarticulate brachiopods and shark like scale in sandstone erratic. Judging by brachiopod fossils I think they belong to paterinids and then this erratic is probably Cambrian in age! One inarticulate brachiopod is 6 mm and another is 3 mm diameter. Shark like scale (maybe the oldest in the world) is 2 mm length and has fragment of root in one side visible. Please help to identify these brachiopods to know the exact age. Any help will be very appreciated! Best Regards Domas

Scale or tooth microfossil, please help tiwh ID
D.N.FossilmanLithuania posted a topic in Micro-paleontology
Dear Guys, I recently found one scale or tooth microfossil that is quite similar to ptilodont mammal molar. This remain is only 2 mm length and it also can be shark or actinopterygian scale. The remain is found in Dauksiai village, Joniskis district, Northern Lithuania. The same remain I found several years ago in Cretaceous spongiolite erratic in Varena town, South Lithuania so the age of this remain should similar. The microremain has oblique grooves in all the surface. Please help to identify this fossil. Any help will be appreciated! Best Regards Domas -
Wing like bone- which kind of fish is this?
D.N.FossilmanLithuania posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Dear Guys, I recently found one very interesting wing like bone that is ~1 cm length, it has oblique canals in one side. The fossil is found in Dauksiai village, Joniskis district, Northern Lithuania. One guy in facebook group suggested Listracanthus fin spine but listracanthus spines are more curved and have vertical grooves in surface so I think it is more likely some kind of actinopterygian. Please let me know which part of fish skeleton it is and what taxon of fishes (family, order) it might belong to. Any help will be appreciated! Best Regards Domas

Dear Guys, I recently found these two scale fragments of lobe finned fishes in Joniskis district, Northern Lithuania. One larger scale has thick radii in top, many perforations in the mid part and sharp spines in the bottom, the other find is the bottom fragment of scale and has vertical ridges and grooves between them. One of important things about second find is protuberant points in the internal surface of scale fragment. Please help to identify families or similar fish taxa of these finds to know the age. Any help will be appreciated! Best Regards Domas
