Aust fossils

[Pterygotus]

Could someone please ID these fossils found at Aust cliff? To those who don’t know, Aust Cliff is Triassic.

1.inch long tooth with jaw section?

2.skin?

3.vertebrae and bone shard and coprolite, ichthyosaur? Largest vertebrae around 5mm

4.bone shard

5.no clue

6.another bone shard

[Pterygotus]

3. All of three were found in the same stone, not sure about the bone shard but still pretty sure, so probably associated material.

And just a hint that I would definitely not recommend acid prepping the golden brown fossils of Aust cliff. I found out the hard way

The third one down are probably Ichthyosaur, size would be useful in getting a better ID.

Hehe, me too! Actually you can do it if you coat the bone with Paraloid as you go. The acid doesn’t affect the teeth. Indeed if you keep all your matrix crumbs from there and soak in vinegar you’ll find dozens of tiny fish bones.  

 

re you pictures they need to be better and with a metric scale to help id
