FossilSloth Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I was told this fish nodule came from the Anti-Atlas region of Morocco, and is supposedly Cretaceous in age. Can anyone ID it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy's Dad Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 A lovely specimen. I believe it is from Goulmima, which is at the foot of the Atlas mountains. The fish is known as Goulmimites sp. but whether that's scientifically valid, i have no idea. Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FossilSloth Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks, guys! I have 2 more nodules to prep. A lot of the brown stuff flaked off this one... Any tips on how to prevent that? I think as soon as I uncover a part, I'm going to have to cover it in glue. Gonna be really slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I'm just trying to play catch up after spending time at the Tucson Show. I'm just curious, what are those nodules in the fish's body cavity? Just mineral deposits? Is that something normal from that area?
