Pleuromya Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hi, I was wondering if this could be a Pachystropheus bone? Although it is damaged, it looks similar to pictures of Pachystropheus femurs, could it be a femur? It measures 4.5cm. There's a tooth next to it, the closest possiblity I could find was Ichthyosaur, but I couldn't find anything that similar, so could this be an Ichthyosaur tooth? On the other side, there's some other things. I think the larger tooth could possibly be Severnichthys, and one slightly lower down to be Lissodus minimus I'd appreciate any help, Many thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Fossildude19 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I'd like to see a better picture of image #2. But the whole specimen. Brighter. Also from Directly above. Pictures of the ends of the pieces would help as well. Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully this helps, I tried multiple lamps, but it seems to make the image worse somehow, so it might be best if I get some pictures in the sun tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
Pleuromya Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 Unfortunately it was cloudy most of the day, so I couldn't catch enough sunlight to shine and lighten up the picture, but I've just taken this closer picture of one of the teeth and and end of the bone.

Welsh Wizard Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Yes it certainly looks like one. Always hard to tell from unprepped photos of Aust material. Its a fish tooth and it looks like there’s part of a shark spine on the reverse of the bone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I also have this other one in another rock, is it possible this is a fin spine? It's about 9cm. Edited October 13, 2021 by Pleuromya Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh Wizard Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 (edited) The second pic is a spine. I’m not too sure about the first - it looks like a bone. How thick is the first one. Edited October 14, 2021 by Welsh Wizard 1 Link to post Share on other sites
