Hello, I have found this plant fossil today in the shoulder of a forest road (Hasibach, Geistthal, Styria, Austria). Its freshly split, last pic is photographed under water. Its from the Campanian Afling-Formation, Gosau-Group of Kainach. Any hint to ID is highly welcome! Note: I can not see any venation with a hand lens. I have also the counterpiece, but its worse. Thank you very much for your help! Franz Bernhard

Scalariform (?) Gastropod (?) - Cretaceous Gosau-Group of Kainach, Styria, Austria
FranzBernhard posted a topic in Fossil ID
Hello, what do you thing about this fragmentary specimen? Its from the Upper Cretaceous Afling-Formation of the Gosau-Group of Kainach, Eastern Alps. It was found in an about 1 m thick conglomerate bed with Trochactaeon and hippuritid rudists. It consists of about 1 1/4 whorls, the whorls do not touch, hence "scalariform"(?). The upper "end" of the "tube" has an outer diameter of about 9.5 mm, the lower "end" an outer diameter of about 12 mm. The outer surface appears the be smooth, the shell is about 1 mm thick. Sorry, these are the best pics possible. Here is a link to a pic showing a part of the outcrop in October 2021: Outcrop Reinprechtskogel-63 Many thanks! Franz Bernhard- 19 replies

Hello, I have a specimen of a mandible with teeth for your scrutinization. It was found some years ago in the Campanian St. Bartholomä-Formation of the Gosau-Group of Kainach, Eastern Alps, in Styria, Austria. I am little bit concerned about the bone texture and also the arrangement of the teeth. It seems it could be in urgent need for visiting a really skilled orthodondist. What do you think, does it really need some medical treatment? Many thanks for all your comments! Franz Bernhard
