Miocene_Mason Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Fossil fish for a friend, no locality. Any ideas? I was thinking asineops. “...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...
Fossildude19 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 What's the size on this, Mason? Looks like a Phaerodus/Cockerelites to me, but hard to say with the head and tail and most fins missing.

Bone guy Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I have a feeling this is either Mioplosus or Priscacara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a Phaerodus/Cockerlites to me, but hard to say with the head and tail and most fins missing. About 6 inches, it does have some blow up problems. Other people tried IDing it and weren’t sure it was from the green river, though it looks mighty like one to me. “...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...

jdp Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Not Pharaeodus. The pictured fossil is an acanthomorph. Asineops maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big circular scales are what lead me to asineops, as I know they have big circle ones. “...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...
