Kolya Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Hello! Is it possible to identify fish by this vertebra? Diameter ~ 3 mm. Western Ukraine, Miocene. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 It is well presented. There should be some progress at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I really thought it would make it as far as teleost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Fish vertebrae are not diagnostic in any way, other than to say it's fish, as far as I know. 1 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM - APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

RuMert Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 At least you can say cartilaginous or bony and ID some of the orders and families having distinct features. Then you can try papers like this, this, this, this, etc 1 My sites & reports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwood Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I thought they had had some success tracing Eocene fish back to the Cretaceous using the form of isolated verts.. Some necessary information may have been taken from context I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
