Guguita2104 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Hello! I'm back after a long posting absence and I would like to share my recent finds with you (December was a very "fossiliferous" month for me). My new fantastic collecting spot is located near Vila Nova de Ourém. However I can't tell you precisely the age of the layers (even after a very exaustive research).That's why I would like to ask for specific paleobiological/stratigraphic documentation or information about this region. I collected fossils from two layers and I noticed the fauna was quite different, so I suppose they are not the same age. As I don't know their age, I will call them "Layer1" and "Layer2" (wich was stratigraphically above "Layer1"). Layer1 (Jurassic or Cretaceous) In this layer I found lots of oysters, the most abundant fossil. I also found: -Crocodylomorph tooth (???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guguita2104 Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 I'm wondering if the first tooth could be Goniopholis sp., wich is found in Portuguese Upper Jurassic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
