Mike from North Queensland Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I started seiving again last week and found this amoungst the bits and pieces. It is from central australia and is albian in age . Found in a marine sediment. I will appoligise for the photo in advance but I havent got a macro camera so I have used the macro setting and added some shots from a digital microscope to show some detail. The scale on the grid paper is 1mm and the fossil is symetrical in shape. Thanks Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auspex Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 With its strong bi-lateral symmetry, it might be from the skeletal centerline; if so, its mass suggests a cranial element. It also has characteristics of a hyperostotic fish bone (Tilly bone).
