Split Broken Green River Priscacara serrata has cleared its throat
Biotalker posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
I bought this ratty broken split fish several years back at an auction really, really cheap. It was mis-identified as a "Priscacara liops". It was my introduction to Green River fish. This fossil has some revealing details. This is a 7" Priscacara serrata and it displays the characteristic molariform teeth in the pharyngeal region that would normally be hidden in a more intact specimen. This type of tooth is for crushing prey. I would say this broken fellow displays these pharyngeal teeth even more clearly than the picture in Lance Grande's The Lost World of Fossil Lake. And he must have had thousands of specimens to choose from. See for yourself. These broken cheapos can be terrific! The entire fossil- 9 replies

I found it within a cave on Isla Bastimentos, which is an island off the Atlantic coast of Panama. The cave had fast flowing sea water. Thus far it appears to be either fossilized pharyngeal teeth or a dermal plate. I'm trying to figure out if they're actually fossilized and more importantly what species it likely belongs to. Size: Approximate 1.25cm x 1.0cm x 0.5cm

Here is a group of fish pharyngeal tooth-plates from a Plio-Pleistocene site in the Santa Fe River. Both freshwater and saltwater fish may have these plates, and both sorts of fossil fish are to be found in the river. More than one species may be represented in this group.

Here is a close-up of a trio of fish pharyngeal tooth-plates from a Plio-Pleistocene site in the Santa Fe River. Both freshwater and saltwater fish may have these plates, and both sorts of fossil fish are to be found in the river. More than one species may be represented in this group.
