You did very well. All those fossils look great, and love that first echinoid.

1.Clypticus plotty var.trigeri France (Is that one Cretaceous?)

Very nice shark teeth! I'm curious though, as to where the Moroccan teeth are from. Evidently not Khouribga, but somewhere else, because the latter Squalicorax teeth are dark colored, unusual for moroccan teeth. hmmm :blush:

Tha tighin fodham, fodham, fodham!

Hi Roz,

There is spelling, Clypeus genus is Jurasic genus. C.plotii Leske is from Bajocian to Oxfordian, and I assume that this one on the picture came from Jaulny and if I remember correctly there is Bajocian.

Nice acquisitions, Cor.......but - and I hate to be the bringer of bad news - ..... nr. 11 in definitely no Lovenia bagheerae.

This is what Lovenia bagheerae looks like:

In my opinion 11 is, just like 12 a Monostychia.

If you don't mind I'll forward pics 11 and 12 to an Australian friend who knows just about every ech from "Down Under".

Cheers,

Paul

Hi Cor,

I have sent the picture of the supposed Lovenia bagheerae to my Aussie-connection.

This was his reply:

"Hello Paul,

Quite right, its Monostychia australia Laube, 1869. I'm 99.9% sure its from the Miocene, Morgan Group. Glenforslan Formation from ??? on the Murray River, South Australia."

So looks like that particular lable was wrong after all.

Cheers,

Paul
