Auspex Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 1st impression: "Wow, these are different!" Then it sunk in on me how exquisitely beautiful they are, both as specimens and esthetically. Then I went back to how far outside my experience your UK teeth are. Thanks for posting them!

Bill Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi N.AL.hunter, They are Gyrodus cuveri, Kimmeridge clay is the formation. I don't know about the rarity but they're the first I've seen in that condition. They're GORGEOUS. KOF, Bill. Welcome to the forum, all new members www.ukfossils check it out.

Harry Pristis Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 ok thenhow about this Gyrodus cuveri kimmeridge clay almost complete ,top plate lower jaw and part other I had never seen Gyrodus ("Moonfish") before. On the Internet, I found an image of one from the Upper Jurasssic Solnhofen Limestone (same age as the Kimmeridge Clay).

Auspex Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 On post#3 what species is that first and second tooth? If I read it right, they are "Astercanthus sp." and "polyacrodus obtusus?" (both hybodonts). Google either one for more info.

Auspex Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Nice! One of the appealing things about echinoids is how well they display; they're self-contained packets of fascination.
