Shellseeker Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I went searching in a small stream a couple of months back. Found no mammal fossils, a lot of marine shell and turtle materials. No Megs, but some nice Makos, G. Cuvier (no aduncus or contortus), bull and dusky with an occasional snaggle. and then these 2 verts -- I think they are the same, but will leave it to other to judge.

Auspex Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I kind of automatically classify verts that look like crayon sharpeners as having come from bony fish....

Shellseeker Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 (edited) Auspex, Lots of things are possible, once I decide to put a little work into this: Take a look at the following 2 websites. http://fossilsandoth...es-by-book.html. Take a look at ".d" , 2nd photo from the bottom of Aluterus sp. Great article, worth reading. and then here is another.... 2nd photo down.. http://vmnhpaleontol...hurch-day-10-6/ Initially, I did not think I would be able to id a fish vert to a specific fish, but now this vert seems to be relatively common. Confirmed -- 4th photo down> http://www.fossilguy.com/sites/l_creek/lcrk_col_fish.htm Edited September 4, 2012 by Shellseeker The White Queen ".... in her youth she could believe "six impossible things before breakfast" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
