More Information On Enchodus marchesettii? papers, ect.
Mioplosus_Lover24 posted a topic in Questions & Answers
In my collection I have an Enchodus marchesettii, but in doing more research I am unsure about the relationship it has to other Enchodus, and it's spread as there seem to be very very few specimens, and most are mislabeled Eurypholis or Spaniodon. I am just very interested if anyone has any papers on Lebanon fish. -

"Feelin' Groovy" today! I'm a self-taught and well-mentored paleontologist. I've been volunteering at my local natural history museum, identifying, cataloguing, and studying a donation of thousands of cretaceous invertebrates from a single locality along the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in the US. My first paper, peer reviewed, is now online. https://zenodo.org/record/7901663#.ZFk6xnbMJPY- 18 replies

First off, I'm not sure exactly where this topic should go, in either questions and answers or documents, so I hope I put it in the right place. I've recently become interested in writing papers about paleontology. I'm still a kid but I just wanted to write this, but I'm not completely sure what to do. Does anybody have any tips for writing and publishing research papers? I'm writing about the Kem Kem Beds and the theropod teeth. I haven't got very far yet, but here it is. Thanks for any help. The Mysterious Theropods of the Kem Kem Beds: Analysis and Identification of Isolated Theropod Teeth from the Kem Kem Beds Abstract In the Kem-Kem Beds of Morocco, there is a large array of non-avian theropod dinosaurian fauna, including Carcharodontosaurids, Spinosaurids, Abelisaurids, and possible Noasaurids. Since there has not been very much cranial and jaw material found, it is nearly impossible to attribute these teeth to a specific or even a general level. Therefore, teeth are mainly identified to a family level, and at times are called simply Tooth Morphs. This paper is going to go into detail about each of the tooth morphotypes. This will also be able to aid in field identification of these theropod teeth. Others have done work on this subject, and I will be referencing their works throughout my paper. These others include, but are not limited to, Ritcher et. al. (2012), Frank Francino (2020), and Ibrahim et. al. (2014). Systematics Identification of Spinosaurid Teeth Isolated spinosaurid teeth are the most common theropod teeth that are found in the Kem Kem Beds. There are two spinosaurids described from the Kem Kem Formation, Spinosaurus aegyptiacus Stromer (1915), and Sigilmassasaurus Russell (1996). As such, it is not possible to distinguish between these two animals in isolated teeth. Spinosaurid teeth are long and thin. They have ridges along the tooth, parallel to the carina. The carinae are non-serrated, but sometimes can have beaded edges.(See figure to the left Photo courtesy of Frank Francino.) Spinosaurid teeth have circular bases, and are often larger than three inches. The photo below shows a spinosaurid tooth from my collection that has all of the distinctive features of a spinosaurid tooth.

Here is a paper about the privately owned Triceratops Big John. He probably died from battle injuries. This is noteworthy for being a scientific article published on a privately owned fossil. A professional can let us know if the authors did a good job and if the publication is respected by paleontologists. I have never heard of Scientific Reports. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-08033-2 D’Anastasio, R., Cilli, J., Bacchia, F. et al.

I had this chalk rock in toilet paper for a while. I took it out today and it has these red marks. Did toilet paper cause this? Today i put some fossils in some toilet paper until i get a New cabinet. And it makes me worried that it will happen to them too. Maybe the sun burned it? Heard that it can discolor fossils but i dont remember the sun being near it. Any ideas on how to remove/fix this.

I'm looking for the following paper: Q. Liu, H.L. Luo, L.Z. Chen and S.-X. Hu. 2006. Panlongia, a new trilobitomorph genus from the Lower Cambrian, Kunming, Yunnan. Acta Palaeontologica Sinica 45:384-392 My university has access to a lot of journals, but not Acta Palaeontologica Sinica unfortunately. If anyone has a copy or can point me in the right direction, it'd be much appreciated.

Hello everyone, I know this may be a stretch, but I remember a thread on here that contained a paper or poster on Megalodon pathology. It’s basic claim was that there was a correlation with tooth size and rate of pathology. I’d like to read it again, but I can’t seem to find it. I was wondering if anyone else could remember it or find it. Thanks!

Hello all, Putting this one out to the masses before I break down and order a copy from the state. Does anyone have a copy of the Fourth Annual Report of the Geological Survey of the Third District from the New York State Geological Survey, 1840, Annual Report no. 4, more specifically, [p. 355-383]? In particular I am looking for Vanuxem's writings about the Schoharie fm. Truth be told, I will take any information about the Schoharie that I can get. I don't know if I am just bad at research, but the information seems sparse on this one. Lol, this is such an incredible long shot, but I figured you guys have surprised me with weirder requests in the past

I see a large number of posts where the poster asks for id help with a fish vertebra. Most times a lot of information is given, but unfortunately not all of it is correct. There are bits and pieces of fish vertebrae id information in a number of books, papers, articles, websites etc. but nothing that I’ve seen that I would consider to be comprehensive. The below paper is a rather obscure one but which I’ve found extremely helpful with the id of extant shark vertebrae which also helps with the fossil ones: A Guide to Identifying Shark Centra from Southeastern Archaeological Sites Kozuch and Fitzgerald 1989 https://www.academia.edu/5653950/A_Guide_to_Identifying_Shark_Centra_from_Southeastern_Archaeological_Sites_Kozuch_and_Fitzgerald_1989?auto=download I have thousands of shark, ray, sawfish, and bony fish vertebrae but unfortunately I just don’t have the time to take pictures of them. I see all kinds of generalizations about the differences between these types of vertebrae that get included in fish vertebra id post replies that are just not universally true based upon my personal readings and collection. Below are a few generalizations from the above paper: If you are aware of other papers, articles, websites etc. that would help TFF members better understand these vertebrae could you please add links to them in replies to this post?

Question for the room. I didn't know where to put this, so I posted it here. Does anyone on here have access to Academia.edu, or to any other solid sources of searching published academic papers? I keep getting notifications that I have been cited in a few highly cited papers, particularly ones pertaining to paleoceanography—which if anything I ever did was to ever be cited—would probably be pertinent to that. There is a far more knowledgeable Jay C. Wollin in the field, but I don't think he does much with marine fossils. I'm just curious to know if any of these citations could be related to me rather than him. (Not entirely likely, but I admit, the constant notifications have me intrigued.) Thanks, everyone!

Does anyone know of any papers that refer to the species Morocconites malloides? More specifically I am interested to know what formation it comes from in Morocco. I read the paper by Edgecombe: Edgecombe, G.D. (1991). Morocconites Struve, 1989, a Devonian Acastine Trilobite (Calmoniidae: Acastinae). American Museum Novitates, Number 2998 ...but it does not go into detail as to the layer in which they are found. Thanks for the help! Dave
