Rockwood Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Darko, Can you tell us anything about the depositional environment there ? At Blue Beach the fish parts are aggregated by a current as evidenced by frequent tool marks. I suspect this kind of split may be suggestive of these 'excremental' ideas in a less energetic environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect this kind of split may be suggestive of these 'excremental' ideas in a less energetic environment. I can only say that I found it in a marl stone mine deposits.This place where I have found these fossils have been a Pannonian sea at first,then after that It has changed to a smaller Pannonian lake...In these deposits has been found a aligator skull from a miocene period. So that includes that this place has been some kind of lake or swamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Mud Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 They do resemble bits of fish, scales, maybe bones. Can we see a clear close in shot with a scale? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ynot Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I would say those look like fish coprolite. Lets see what @GeschWhat and @Carl have to say. Darwin said: " Man sprang from monkeys." Will Rogers said: " Some of them didn't spring far enough." My Fossil collection - My Mineral collection My favorite thread on TFF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they have rings or lines? They do, you can see in one of the pictures. I read a paper on fossils in this area, they seemed to be able to tell what the otoliths belongs to somehow, do you know if this is easily possible? “...whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been and are being evolved.” ~ Charles Darwin Happy hunting, Mason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - looking at one if these new images on the screen - not my phone - I can see the rings a lot clearer. Otoliths can be quite good indicators of fish species and even the age of the fish. Looks like there are at least 4 otoliths so at least two individuals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
