Vertebrates and invertebrates-miocene

Recommended Posts

This weekend I went on a quick hunt with my family to Sesimbra's Miocene (Calcarenitos e margas da Foz da Fonte-Burdigalian).

It was a really nice hunt:D...And I brought home some quality (IMO) fossils.

However, the documents I've been read about this site are not very specific about taxonomic informations.

So, I would like to ask for some help identifying my finds.

 

Invertebrates

 

-Ficidae (maybe Ficus sp.)IMG_0152.JPGIMG_0153.JPG

-Bone???

This is a tooth fragment, not a bone.

 

Maybe Croc... I need to see a zoom of the external side...

I need to see more the details.. A zoom Picture it helps but this fossil looks like a piece of coral and not a bone... Post a zoom Picture if you can :)

It doesn't look like coral, because I can't find any septum.And it has a very specific texture.

New pictures coming:

This looks like to me only a suggestive rock... a concretion.
