LiamL Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I found this very small thing on my fossil of two ichthyosaur rib bones. It's very shiny. It is From Jurassic sediment (200 million years old) at Lavernock, South Wales, U.K. 5p coin for scale. Yorkshire Coast Fossil Hunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Could be a fish scale. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I agree, it looks like a fish scale. Although, I haven't seen one exactly like that before. Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludwigia Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Whatever it is, it could be that pyrite makes it shiny? Greetings from the Lake of Constance. Roger http://www.steinkern.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimTexan Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 I’d say that is definitely a fish scale, but I have no idea what species. Hopefully someone can chime in who knows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TqB Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Definitely a ganoid scale, Lepidotus or Dapedium sort of thing. 6 Tarquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
