Haravex Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I'm not knowledgeable much about fish this was collected in January from goulmima only now got to prepping it fully any ideas? It's 9.8cm long the skull looks to be crushed deformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oilshale Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Sorry, can't help. Lionel Cavin mentions three small sized fishes from Goulmima (beside several bigger ones): Enchodus cf venator (a possibility), a Pycnodont cf Palaeobalistum (definitely not your fish) and an indefinite teleost. juvenile (another possibility) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/40661382_Occurrence_of_a_juvenile_teleost_Enchodus_sp_in_a_fish_gut_content_from_the_Upper_Cretaceous_of_Goulmima_Morocco https://2dgf.dk/dgf-online-series/supposed-and-direct-evidence-of-trophic-relationships-within-the-marine-fish-community-from-the-lower-turonian-of-goulmima-morocco/ 1 Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes (Confucius, 551 BC - 479 BC).

Haravex Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Hmm rather odd there is no more documentation on the fossils of goulmima / akoubou formation. What formations where around the same age in South America might be an idea for cross referencing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
