Interesting enough it appears that the label on item 49 is incorrect 49 and 50 both say Mesopuzosia, but label at the top of 49 doesn't say that (in Japanese) whereas the label on 50 says "me so pu zo shi a". Wonder if I am missing something there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wrote the wrong scientific name. 2 ~~~~~~~~~~~~〇~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warmest greetings from Kumamoto、 Japan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrangellian Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks for showing.. I'm always interested to see Japan's Upper Cretaceous to compare with our own here on Vancouver Island. I've never seen a Canadoceras with such dense ribbing as C. multicostatum. Our C. yokoyamai (Japanese name!) is not so dense: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Amateur Paleontologist Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Thanks for sharing this! Really love the multi-Nipponites block I'd be curious to learn more about those elasmosaurid specimens, too! -Christian Opalised fossils are the best: a wonderful mix between paleontology and mineralogy!

It is an elasmosaur found near nakagawa in hokkaido. I don't have further info about it right now. Sorry.
