This large tooth from a crocodylomorph, possibly thalattosuchian was found from a quarry in Lincolnshire UK.

 

The quarry shows the finest “section” of Bajocian (Jurassic ~175mya) to Bathonian (Jurassic ~165mya) strata currently available in inland Britain with extensive outcrops of Middle Jurassic strata. At the very top of the exposures (section) is the base of the Oxford Clay which is where I found the tooth, this Oxford Clay is a very limited exposure making the tooth a significant find.

 

Found on the 1st of December 2018

A little mosasaur vertebrae from North Sulphur River. Probably rather common, but kind of cute due to the size.

I want to participate with this two associated Ichthyosaur vertebrae. They are from the quarry Mistelgau in Bavaria. It's a kinda rare find in a quarry which is abandoned since 2005. The condition of the majority of the bones there is bad but the preservation of these verts is good so I was pretty happy as I found them :D The prep work took about 3 or 4 hours.

Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

...maybe someone (cough @PFOOLEY cough) could help...

 

Awesome ammonoid!...compare with the genus Clioscaphites (not a Collignoniceratid, nor an Acanthoceratid)

 

EDIT: looking at it again, it also resembles some Scaphites of the Mancos. Without a better understanding of what member of the Mancos, your most accurate label would be 'Scaphitid ammonoid'...

 

...still awesome. :)

Thanks!  Do you have any suggestions for resources to look into this more?  I have had a terrible time finding much of anything.
