Kansas Smoky Hill Chalk Finds

[X-fish]

These were all collected last summer, from the Smoky Hill Chalk in Northeast Lane County Kansas. Any help/suggestions/corrections would be much appreciated.

 

1

12mm Long

Enchodus?

2

13mm Long

Enchodus? 

3

20mm across

Gillicus arcuatus?

4

Entire piece put together totals 48mm in length. Not sure on the genus. Better pictures to come.

5

29mm long

Stratodus? Seems to bear some resemblance to strato2.jpg (790×562) (oceansofkansas.com). The other possibility I thought of was a damaged Cimolichthys.

6

12mm across

Perhaps a member of the Plethodidae family

7

20mm long

Apsopelix?

8

3 out of 4 associated vertebrae. All about 11mm across x 11mm long

9

Group of associated vertebrae. All approximately 12mm across long way

I expect Pachyrhizodus.

 

I've got a couple more, but it seems I need to re-take the pictures of them.

Number 5 is definitely cimolichthys.
