nchazarra Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Hi to everybody, I've been struggling a lot of time in ID these little bones. I think they are some otoliths, but I can't identify them using internet images or articles. They are Pliocene in age (from Spain). Every line from the scale is 1 mm. Thanks in advance!

Fossil Diver Steve Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Strange, they almost look like seeds. Is that even a possibility? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auspex Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 They seem to me to be fish otoliths. Coco is one member who can help; message her if she doesn't see this post.

Al Dente Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Paco has found similar things from Greece. I'm pretty sure they are from a fish but not otolith. Here are Paco's:http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/21973-fish-bones-and/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichW9090 Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 They don't look like otoliths to me, which usually are very thin-edged, and somewhat transluscent; you can see the incremental growth rings with the naked eye. The plural of "anecdote" is not "evidence". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Hi, Thanks Scylla to refer to my otolith post. Nchazarra, I don't think these fossils are otoliths.
