Permian Bone Bits ID Help

Recommended Posts

Over the weekend I visited a well-known Permian site in Oklahoma in hopes to adding to a tiny collection of Permian vertebrate micro fossils I picked out of a bag of "red bed" matrix I purchased a few years ago from a site in Texas. These sites are Early Permian in age and contain tons of tiny bone fragments of amphibians and reptiles, as well as shark and fish remains. I was hoping to get some help identifying/confirming identifications for some of the more diagnostic bone bits that I collected from the site. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

#1- Skull fragment of Eryops megacephalus?- 4cm
