Part II potential iniopterygian "What is it and What do I do next"
Bonehunter posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
So, with the help and astute observations of LabRatKing and JDP, my "what is it" this may be an individual of Iniopterygiformes a chondricthyes/cartilagenous shark which resembles a modern day flying fish WAY COOL!!!!!!!! SO EXCITED!!!.. I am contacting pros who would have a much better idea and may be able to reveal more of the animal. I have radiographed it this morning, and maaayybbee I am seeing one of the "horns" depicted in paleo artist Ray Troll's painting?? at 12:00? There are other interesting "items" in the shale at 11:00, 2:00 NS 4:00 as well. I've contacted the KU field museum to get confirmation of the fossil, but is there a way to expose the rest?. I would imagine there is? but i am in no way prepared to try. Here's the pictures and radiograph. The cone shaped item is in the shale- not on it, under it, etc. , or is it nothing??.......Thoughts or suggestions appreciated!!! Bone- 1 reply

I know radiographs are used to locate fossils within rock, but I'm curious if anyone knows the specific settings that are used for this? Typically, the settings for radiographs (for animals) are based on weight, but does that also hold true for fossils or does it depend more on the type of rock?
