Roz Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 I can with 100% surity say it is NOT a pachy. I have both species of Pachyrhizodus and it has absolutely no similarities. It also doesnt look like Icthyodectids, Plethodids, or any other large bony fish. Now since there are about 5 billion smaller bony fishes, it's a distinct posibility. I have attached the pic of my Sauradon skull with a Pachyrhizodus minimus jaws next to it. Note that they are very thin and tall. That is a 4" X 3" ricker mount. Personally, I am still holding out for bird. Thanks for including that image.. It's good to rule out something.. Welcome to the forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Here's his post.. Posted 23 January 2012 - 02:39 AM I Will Be Away From The Forum For 9 Days I'm leaving in the morning for my annual Florida birding festival adventure; all work & very little play, but the change of routine (and hoped-for revenue) makes it well worth the effort. The big downside is that I will not have internet access until Tue. the 31st at the soonest, and I will miss the fossils, new knowledge, and camaraderie of the Forum a lot. Be well, Chas.

Auspex Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 Hi folks; just now settling back in, after the biz trip (and dealing with the aftermath...). auspex... don't bird teeth have a constriction around te base? I don't see any here. The constricted base is a feature of Enantiornithine birds (some, anyway); not so of Icthyornis.

Al Dente Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 This is almost certainly a fish jaw. The teeth with the translucent to clear enamel tips are typical of many species of fish that I have seen from the Paleozoic to recent. Here's an Eocene tooth that is about 4 mm long.
