Nimravis Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Today I came across a flat of Cretaceous Niobrara Formation / Smoky Hill Chalk- Kansas fish fossils, from a couple years ago. I was hoping that @Xiphactinus or other members might be able to help with and / or correct son ID's that I made on the following specimens. Any help would be appreciated. Xiphactinus audax Vert. Enchodus Tooth Saurodon leanus Jaw Sections Cimolichthys Jaw Sections Unknown Jaw Section Unknown Tail / Fin Pieces Unknown Fish Vert. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Dente Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Nice finds. This one looks like Stratodus. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 That is a nice assemblage of what is commonly found in the chalk. Everyone thinks you can go out there and pick up huge Cretoxyrhina teeth and mosasaur pieces, but usually you walk away with a box of stuff like you have there. (And walk away happy!!) Than one right before the tail pieces might be saurodon.

The Amateur Paleontologist Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Nice finds! Would you happen to know any more specific location details of where the specimens were found? Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy! Q. Where do dinosaurs study? A. At Khaan Academy!...

Would you happen to know any more specific location details of where the specimens were found? No I do not- I picked those up along with some other pieces at a Fossil Show for I think $30. I really like that stuff and would like to collect out there sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
