Eriptychiid agnathans from Baltic??
D.N.FossilmanLithuania posted a topic in General Fossil Discussion
Good evening everyone! I have found these two fossils (scale and epitegium) in the dolomite erratics of South Lithuania, Varena district. The scale has very big and long tuberculae (unlike well known Oniscolepis with serrated and small pattern of tubercles), the size of scale is 8 mm length and the tubercles are up to 1 mm width. The same tubercle pattern (massive, oblong and not serrated) have primitive pteraspidomorphs like Eriptychius. The second find (epitegium) is quite small, about 5 mm length and it has leaf/spine like tubercles without serration, very similar to Anatolepis from Norway (the leaf like tubercles are visible) or maybe the same Eriptychius (in some body areas it also has short, almost rounded tubercles). In the same erratic with epitegium fossil I noticed the poorly preserved piece of trilobite jaw. Please check some information about Eriptychius and Anatolepis remains from Ordovician and let me know if I can think that my finds are Ordovician in age... Any help will be appreciated!
