Several teleost scales, please help with ID

[D.N.FossilmanLithuania]

Dear Guys,

 

I recently found these teleost scales in flint erratics, they are between 3 and 6 mm length.

The location is Varena otwn, South Lithuania (the Baltic region), flint erratics in our area are usually Late Cretaceous or Paleocene in age. 

the scale with brush like top has many point like surface elements in middle and upper part, only in bottom it has growth lines or circuli.

Please help to identify some orgers or families of these fish remains. 

Any help will be appreciated! 

 

Best Regards

Domas, I don't want you to take this in a bad or demeaning way, but all of the pictures you ever post look like they are taken through cloudy water.

Is there anything you can do to clean the lens on your camera or something?

It is very difficult to see the images.

Still not great, but this might help

The second photo in geschwhat's refined pics (last photo in original post) might be percid, although it's difficult to see the cteni.  I could be way off, as I am not familiar with fishes from that time period.

Dear Guys,

 

I have some better scale pictures with also better visible ctenini. 

The age of fossils is Late Cretaceous- Paleocene, any idea about fish taxa would be very helpful.

 

Best Regards
