From the album: Vertebrates
Aspidorhynchus acutirostris (Blainville, 1818) Late Jurassic Kimmeridgian (late) - Tithonian (early) Painten Formation Painten Bavaria Germany This fish lies in an extremely soft rock and was very difficult to prepare. At the slightest touch (even with a small brush) scales could come off. Unfortunately the top of the skull is slightly dislocated.- 1 comment

Gyrodus circularis Agassiz, 1843 Late Jurassic Tithonian Painten Formation Painten Germany -
Von Mayer originally described this chimaera under the name Ischyodus avitus. Elasmodectes avitus, a cartilaginous fish, is conspicuous for its sparsely ossified skeleton. There is a nuchal spine behind the head; the dorsal fin begins just behind the nuchal spine and extends to the tail. Elasmodectes seems to have possessed a skin or only very thin scales, which seems to be almost impossible to preserve. The Skull is presenting its dosal view. Reverence: WOODWARD, A.S.

The genus Gyrodus is a characteristic faunal element of Late Jurassic marine environments and includes the largest known pycnodont (G. circularis, Upper Jurassic of southern Germany). Most pycnodonts are small to medium sized fishes with a standard body length of some 25 cm or less. Only a few large forms with a standard body length of more than 50 cm are known. Gyrodus circularis is the largest pycnodont with a standard body length up to 200 cm (KRIWET & SCHMITZ 2005). References: L. Agassiz (1843) Recherches Sur Les Poissons Fossiles. Tome I (livr. 18).

Formerly known under the name Pholidophorus macrocephalus References: G. Arratia (2000) New teleostean fishes from the Jurassic of Southern Germany and the systematic problems concerning the ‘pholidophoriforms’May 2000, Paläontologische Zeitschrift 74(1):113-143. DOI10.1007/BF02987957

Also known as Undina penicillata. Holophagus is a coelacanth with the classical shape that has remained almost unchanged over millions of years. The name coelacanth means 'hollow spine' (from the Greek koilos = hollow and akantha = spine). The caudal fin is divided into three lobes (diphycercal), the middle lobe is a continuation of the notocord. Holophagus has powerful jaws but tiny teeth. Characteristic for Holophagus is the structure of the head bones (frontal) which are broken through in a characteristic way and look like a light construction.

Hello all My friend recently got this tooth from the famous Solnhofen Plattenkalk, and he really wants to know what the tooth belonged to. He is hoping for something like Archaeopteryx or Compsognathus. I personally don't think it belongs to either of those (although I love this tooth, it's very beautifel), but can't really tell which it is. I've heard everything ranging from dinosaur to fish for this one. Could any of you help? Specifics of the tooth: Size: 9mm Age: Thitonian (Late Jurassic) Seems to be unserrated Has some kind of 'ditch' similar to what you see on teeth of Acheroraptor temertyorum. These two pictures are all I have, got them from my friend and they are the same the seller used.

Siemensichthys macrocephalus (AGASSIZ, 1843) Upper Jurassic Kimmeridgian / Tithonian Painten Germany Length 30cm /12" Former name: Pholidophorus macrocephalus -
Several Late Jurassic macrosemiids are known from the Solnhofen limestones, including at least Notagogus, Histionotus, Voelklichthys and two species of Propterus. Taxonomy from Diagnosis from Bertram 1977, p. 193: " Notagogus reaching standard length of 70 mm; mean proportions as percentage of standard length: head length 33%, trunk depth 29 %, predorsal length 41 %; dorsal fin-ray count: ant. 10-14, post. 10-11; about 34 lateral line scales, only part of their hind borders bearing prominent serrations; no free fulcra on pectoral fin, very few fringing fulcra on first dorsal fin, fringing fulcra on anal fin."

This fish from Painten (Kimmeridgian) was determined by Mrs. López-Arbarello ( Bayerischen Staatssammlung für Paläontologie und Geologie, Munich) as Macrosemimimus cf. fegerti. The exact determination is still pending. M. fegerti was found so far only in the somewhat younger lithographic layers (Tithonian) of Ettling (Markt Pförring). References: Schröder, K.
