Good morning. While looking for fossils in the menilite flysch of the Carpathians, I found several specimens of this species of fish that I cannot identify. Is it possible to determine the species? Thanks. Równe locality Jasienica Rosielna locality.

From the album: Misha's Middle Devonian Fossils
Pucapampella rodrigae Chondrichthyian palatoquadrate. Not much is known about these fish as fossils aren't too common and preservation isn't great, mostly just impressions from this formation, this species may be synonymous with Zampoponiopteron, another chondrichthyian fossil found in the region but whereas this represents skull elements Zampoponiopteron is fossilized fin material.

A shark tooth from my collection: a Cretalamna maroccana specimen
gond posted a topic in Member Collections
Hello everyone, it's been a while since I last posted on the forum In the last year my collection has reached 33 specimens, so I guess that "road to 35" is extremely close! Today I wanted to show you a specimen I acquired very recently, specifically last March! Species: Cretalamna maroccana (Arambourg, 1935) Size: 2.5 tall, ~3.0 cm long Age: 72-66 mya (Late Cretaceous, Maastrichtian) Origin: Ouled Abdoun basin (Morocco) About this fossil: a nicely preserverd shark tooth, with only a small hole on the front part of the tooth's root; I especially appreciate the two lateral cusplets, which are extremely nice to admire. Definitely one of my favorites!- 8 replies

I stumbled upon a small patch of Warsaw Formation limestone and found a couple of cool Chondrichthyes teeth. Both teeth were unfortunately cracked/ split in the matrix, and the tough limestone bedrock made removal tricky. The smaller tooth looks like Cladodont of some sort. I can't ID or recognize the bigger toothplate, and was curious if anyone has possibly seen one similar?

Over the last two years I have been able to collect a small but diverse group of shark and other chondrichthyan teeth from Pennsylvanian deposits in Illinois. Actually, all but one of the teeth are from one exposure of the La Salle Limestone of the Bond Formation- the other tooth was found in some roadside rip rap limestone in Central Illinois which seems to share many species with the La Salle, but unfortunately I have no way of determining the exact origin. Here is the first tooth, this is the one collected from rip rap in northern Champaign County. It is a cladodont type tooth, although unfortunately most of the main tooth and some of the cusps are missing. The tooth is 15 mm across at the widest point.

I found this tooth and part of it that snapped off along some spoil piles. There is no root, and I believe it is the labial view of the tooth surface exposed. The stone comes from the Deer Creek Formation, Ervine Creek Member. I believe it is a Petalodont, possibly Harpacodus?

This tooth was labeled as Orodus but I wanted to get some other opinions. I see quite a few different Paleozoic tooth morphologies that are called Orodus which can be a little confusing. I am not saying the Orodus ID is incorrect but I see some things that remind me of a Hybodontiformes tooth. Burlington Limestone Biggsville Quarry Biggsville, Illinois The tooth measures 5mm across.

I know very little about shark teeth. I found this one a while back in Pennsylvanian (Desmoinesian) shale in northeastern Oklahoma. I am speculating this may be deltodus only because I see a nearly identical tooth labeled as deltodus on another website. The fossil is very thin (too thin to photograph the edges). Besides confirming the taxonomy, can anyone tell me which surface of the tooth is shown in Side A? Finally, would you say Side B is mainly matrix (other than the edges)? I think matrix is showing through the cracks on Side A, and that may be the only thing holding the fossil together. My wife recently got me a camera, so I am working on a gallery album in the forum. I would like to make sure I have the IDs correct before I post photos in the album, so you may be seeing several ID requests from me over the next weeks. Best wishes
