Indagator,

I thought Winterswijk was a Miocene site or are teeth of more than one age found in the area? What is the age of these fossils? I think the other specimen is a spine from some bony fish.

Hi Jess,

Miste (also Winterswijk area) is a miocene site. The Winterswijk quarry is middle trias about 240 million years old. thx for the determination of pic 5. I thought it was a rib but someone else also thought it was a spine too. i hope it is a spine cause i don't have one from that area yet
