FossilHunter.info Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Hi guys, I have recived this fossils when i was a child in different occasions. They were without labels, so I don't know proveninence, species and age. Any clue? Danny (Fossil Hunter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigantoraptor Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 The first looks like a beautifel Dastilbe sp. from the Cretaceous of Brazil. I don't recognize the second. Do you have more pictures? I think third are Knightia eocaena from the Green River Formation, USA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossildude19 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I agree with Gigantoraptor on the ones he ID'd. 1.Dastilbe crandalli, and 3. Knightia eocaena. The second one looks like it could be a Dapalis macrurus from the Oligocene of France. Hard to say - looks like it is missing the skull. 2 Tim - VETERAN SHALE SPLITTER VFOTM --- APRIL - 2015 __________________________________________________ "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks."

FossilHunter.info Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Thanx, I have compared the first one with the pics in the net, it'looks a Dastilbe fron Brasil. Follows more pics of the second. For the last one i'm not sure that is a fossil from Green River the matrix of the one I have is dark.

FossilHunter.info Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 Dastilbe... now i'm confuse more tha before Image from HERE. Danny (Fossil Hunter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doushantuo Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Dastilbe is a variable Species. The monograph showing that is very heavily paywalled,and I DO MEAN very heavily believe me,I tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The third one could be Gosiutichthys parvus, rather than Knightia. They can be found on that color matrix.

Knightia usually have a longer, less deep body, that tapers more gradually to the tail. The Gosiutichthys have a deep body near the skull, that tapers quickly to to tail. Knightia photo from HERE. Gosiutichthys photo from ALAMY 1 hour ago, FossilHunter.info said: Dastilbe... now i'm confuse more tha before The Dastilbe are quite variable in preservation, depending on where they were found. We don't have that information available, but by body shape alone, that is the best guess for ID. Image from HERE. Image from HERE.
