Devonian- Triassic stem tetrapod remains from Lithuania. Please confirm
D.N.FossilmanLithuania posted a topic in Fossil ID
Dear Guys, At the recent time I live in Kursenai (Northern Lithuania) and work in Zagare (Joniskis district, Northern Lithuania) and in this area I find many Devonian tetrapodomorph and other fish remains but I also found one new temnospondyl osteoderm in the younger erratic. In this topic I would like to show all elpistostegalian, ichthyostegalian and temnospondyl remains I collected in the older living locality (Varena town, South Lithuania) and new living area I mentioned. All fossils are from erratic boulders because I did not have enough time to travel and collect finds from outcrops. I found many elpistostegalian (panderichthyid, elpistostege or livoniana like) remains especially from Emsian to Early Frasnian age but one fossil in red dolomite can be older (maybe Lochkovian in age). Several possible ichthyostegalians I also have in Late Devonian- interclavicle fragment in frasnian and some elginerpetontid and ichthyostegid pieces in Late Famennian. Talking about temnospondyls, I think they should be from various taxons and can belong to all Carboniferous, Permian and Triassic periods. The majority of remains are osteoderms (stereospondyl like are quite often). Please tell if my identifications are correct and help me ID these specimens if some are identified not reliable. 1. Panderichthyid skull fragment and scale (Early- Middle Devonian). In the first photo length is 6 mm, in the second- 4 mm.
